ODCCPA SEEKS DSS, NSCDC COLLABORATION TO STRENGTHEN CONSUMER PROTECTION IN ONDO


The Ondo State Competition and Consumer Protection Agency (ODCCPA) has commenced efforts to strengthen collaboration with security agencies in the state as part of measures to enhance consumer protection and enforcement.

The Executive Chairman of the agency, Oluyemi Fasipe, led a delegation of the ODCCPA on a familiarity and courtesy visit to the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Ondo State.

According to Fasipe, the visits were undertaken to formally introduce the agency to the security formations, strengthen institutional relationships and seek their cooperation as the ODCCPA begins a new phase of consumer protection and enforcement activities across the state.

The delegation was warmly received at both commands, where the leadership of the DSS and NSCDC expressed readiness to work with the consumer protection agency.

Fasipe said the DSS Director and the NSCDC Commandant pledged the support and cooperation of their respective organisations, particularly in areas where security agencies may be required to support the activities of the ODCCPA.

He disclosed that both commands indicated their willingness to designate liaison officers who would maintain direct communication with the agency.

According to him, the arrangement is expected to improve communication and information sharing while facilitating coordinated responses in situations where consumer protection matters require the involvement of security agencies.

Fasipe stressed that effective consumer protection requires cooperation among relevant institutions, noting that no single agency can address every aspect of consumer protection and enforcement on its own.

He said the engagements with the DSS and NSCDC reaffirmed the ODCCPA's commitment to building strong institutional partnerships, promoting timely information sharing and developing coordinated approaches to issues affecting consumers across Ondo State.

The ODCCPA chairman expressed appreciation to the leadership of the DSS and NSCDC in Ondo State for the reception accorded the delegation and for the assurances of support and collaboration.

Fasipe also acknowledged a goodwill gesture from the DSS Director, who presented him with a complimentary souvenir during the visit, describing it as a thoughtful gesture that added to the significance of the engagement.

The ODCCPA said the visits form part of its broader efforts to establish the partnerships required to effectively protect consumers and support compliance with relevant competition and consumer protection regulations across Ondo State.
