Abstract
With the rapid growth of e-commerce in Nigeria, ensuring consumer protection in online transactions has become increasingly crucial. The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) plays a pivotal role in safeguarding consumer rights within the digital marketplace. This paper explores the role of the FCCPC in regulating online transactions, emphasizing its enforcement of consumer protection laws, dispute resolution mechanisms, and efforts to combat fraud and deceptive practices. The FCCPC's involvement extends to monitoring e-commerce platforms for compliance with the Consumer Protection Act, promoting consumer awareness, and collaborating with other regulatory bodies to ensure a fair and transparent online environment. Despite technological advancements and enforcement difficulties, the FCCPC continues adapting its strategies to address emerging issues, providing consumers with greater security and confidence in the online marketplace. This paper underscores the importance of a robust regulatory framework in fostering consumer trust and supporting the growth of e-commerce in Nigeria.
