Tunji Bello at 65: Championing Fair Consumer Markets in Nigeria

At 65, Olatunji Bello brings discipline, legal insight, and journalistic instincts to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission. Appointed in 2024 by President Tinubu, he has turned the agency from reactive to interventionist. Bello’s career spans student leadership at the University of Ibadan, editorial roles at Concord, and years as commissioner in Lagos State. This mix of political judgment and public service discipline underpins his approach at the FCCPC. Since his arrival, the Commission has resolved over 9,000 complaints across banking, fast-moving consumer goods, fintech, and electricity. It recovered more than ₦10 billion for consumers, blacklisted predatory digital lenders, and challenged fuel marketers to pass on price drops. His tenure sends a clear message: consumer abuse now carries a real cost.
