Connecting the dots in the legal framework for competition regulation in Nigeria.

One of the principal aims of competition law is the protection of the consumer from economic exploitation. This the Nigerian government has done through the enactment of the long awaited Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 (FCCPA) which is a comprehensive legal framework governing competition issues in Nigeria. This paper seeks to critically appraise the regulation of competition under FCCPA. It compares the Nigerian competition regime with that of South Africa, a developing African country that appears to have evolved and successfully implemented a competition regime.
