FCCPC emerges 3rd best in ease of doing assessment — report – TheNigerialawyer

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission
(FCCPC), has emerged the third-best performing agency of the
Federal Government in the ease of doing business assessment of
Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

A statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by the management of the
commission, said the assessment period was between June 2017 and
May 2019.

The commission noted that the assessment was contained in the
2019 Compliance Report on Executive Order (EO1) released recently
by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council
(PEBEC).

It said the key indicators for the assessment were transparency
and efficiency.

It quoted Mr Babatunde Irukera, the Chief Executive Officer of
the commission as saying “the assessment was encouraging, humbling
and challenging as it recognised the positive treatment of
consumers.

“This is a testament to what is possible when all work together
to focus on and prioritise what is really most important and the
greatest asset of this country, its people.

“I call on staff of the commission to strive not only to be the
best performing nationally, but to be internationally regarded,’’
he said.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that PEBEC was set up in
July 2016 by President Muhammadu Buhari, to remove bureaucratic
constraints in doing business in the country.

The council is an inter-governmental and inter-ministerial one,
chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

Other members include 10 ministers, Head of Service of the
Federation, Governor of CBN, representatives of Lagos and Kano
State government, the National Assembly and the private sector.
