The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening institutional efficiency, enhancing staff capacity, and improving service delivery as part of its long-term reform agenda.
The Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, Tunji Bello, disclosed this during the FCCPC 2025 Management Retreat held in Abuja with the theme “Building Resilience for Sustainable Institutional Capacity.”
Bello explained that the retreat provided an opportunity for the Commission to assess its progress, identify gaps, and outline strategies for better performance. He noted that despite being a relatively young institution, the FCCPC has earned both national and international recognition for its enforcement and advocacy work.
According to him, achieving lasting impact requires continuous investment in human capital, modern tools, and an effective institutional structure. “The strength of the FCCPC lies with a critical mass among the Commission’s staff. We must keep investing in knowledge, systems, and work environments that support productivity and professionalism,” he said.
He added that the retreat was not a mere formality but a deliberate effort to reposition the Commission for sustainable success. “The challenges facing the organisation go beyond technical competence. They also involve maintaining discipline, respecting communication channels, and living up to the service values that define public institutions. We have to build a results-driven culture based on fairness, teamwork, and accountability,” Bello stated.
The retreat brought together senior management and departmental heads to review the Commission’s ongoing operations, improve internal coordination, and align its goals with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2018.
During the event, Bello introduced Hajiya Ummusalma Isiyaku Rabiu and Louis Odion as the newly appointed Executive Commissioners for Corporate Services and Operations, respectively. He noted that both officials would attend the mandatory induction course at the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), Badagry, as part of their orientation in line with federal policy.
Bello urged participants to engage in practical, forward-looking discussions and assured them that the outcomes of the retreat would guide future reforms designed to strengthen FCCPC’s operations. He emphasized that the Commission’s renewed focus aligns with the Federal Government’s “Renewed Hope Agenda,” which aims to build efficient and responsive public institutions that deliver value to citizens.
