The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) took decisive action by sealing an Abuja-based Chinese supermarket within the China General Chamber of Commerce following allegations of discriminatory practices against Nigerians.
Officials from the FCCPC stormed the premises on Monday, interrogating Nigerian workers at the supermarket before sealing it up. The commission’s intervention came amid reports of discriminatory treatment experienced by Nigerians at the supermarket.
In a concerning turn of events, facilities workers revealed that the owner of the supermarket had fled the premises, raising further questions about the practices and management of the establishment.
The closure underscores the FCCPC’s commitment to safeguarding consumer rights and promoting fair competition in the Nigerian market, sending a strong message against discriminatory behavior in commercial establishments.
