The federal government has stated that there are about 70 to 90 online lending applications currently operated by various firms in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed on Thursday by the executive vice chairman, Federal Competition & Consumer Protection Commission, Babatunde Irukera in Lagos during a collaborative engagement with the media to review and analyse the state of the market.<\/p>\n

He said some of the online apps<\/a> were legitimate while others were operating illegally.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot all the online loan applications are illegal. Some are completely illegitimate; some are legitimate but illegitimate in their approach to tracking debtors. We are against the illegitimate works,\u201d Irukera said.<\/p>\n

The FCCPC boss urged companies to be responsible and responsive to customer care services.<\/p>\n

According to him, the government is more accessible and easier to find than private individuals because individuals want to make a profit.<\/p>\n

Irukera said, \u201cGovernment for all its inefficiencies is more accessible, easier to find than private individuals who just sell to make a profit.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\u201cIndustry must prioritise responsiveness and responsibility to their customers. Customers responsiveness is a core to business and FCCPC owes this as a responsibility.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said the media is a critical infrastructure in the constitution obligation of the government to protect the consumers\u2019 interest.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat we intend to achieve is to educate people of their rights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Irukera also said that one of the challenges in the telecommunication sector is transparency in billing.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cChallenge in the telecommunication is transparency in billing. With data, it is difficult to see transparency in data billing, transparency is better with voice calls than with data.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
