ODCCPA, AMOTEKUN FORGE STRONGER PARTNERSHIP TO PROTECT ONDO CONSUMERS


The Ondo State Competition and Consumer Protection Agency (ODCCPA) has moved to strengthen collaboration with the Ondo State Security Network Agency, popularly known as the Amotekun Corps, as part of efforts to enhance the protection of consumers across the state.

The Executive Chairman of ODCCPA, Oluyemi Fasipe, led a delegation of the agency on a courtesy and familiarisation visit to the headquarters of the Amotekun Corps in Alagbaka, Akure.

The visit was aimed at formally introducing the consumer protection agency to the security network and establishing a working relationship that would support the effective discharge of their respective responsibilities.

The delegation was received by the State Commander of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, who expressed the Corps' readiness to support the activities of ODCCPA.

Adeleye also assured the agency of the cooperation and collaboration of the Amotekun Corps in areas where their support may be required.

Speaking on the importance of the engagement, Fasipe said effective consumer protection requires collaboration beyond routine inspections and enforcement activities.

He noted that intelligence sharing, coordinated action and timely response could play important roles when issues affecting the rights, safety and welfare of consumers arise.

According to him, the agency is focused on developing institutional partnerships with relevant government institutions and security agencies to improve its capacity to carry out its mandate across Ondo State.



Fasipe appreciated the Amotekun Corps leadership for the reception accorded the delegation and its willingness to work with ODCCPA.

He maintained that protecting consumers and ensuring that residents are able to access goods and services in a safe and fair environment requires cooperation among relevant institutions.

The engagement is expected to provide a framework for closer cooperation between ODCCPA and the Amotekun Corps, particularly in areas requiring information sharing, coordinated responses and support for consumer protection activities.

The development comes as ODCCPA continues its efforts to establish stronger institutional relationships across Ondo State in furtherance of its consumer protection responsibilities.
