Receiving the award, FCCPC Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tunji Bello, said the recognition would encourage the agency to strengthen its work and remain focused on ensuring fairness in the marketplace.
He stressed that the commission’s priority was to make a meaningful difference in consumers’ lives while promoting an environment where businesses could compete fairly and customers were treated justly.
