The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has resumed the implementation and enforcement of the Digital, Electronic, Online or Non-Traditional Consumer Lending Regulations, 2025, following a Federal High Court judgment upholding the validity of the regulations.
The commission said the judgment, delivered on Monday by Justice A.L. Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Lagos, effectively removed the legal obstacle that had forced it to suspend the implementation of the regulations.
The judgment was delivered in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/760/2026, filed by the Wireless Application Service Providers Association of Nigeria Ltd/Gte.
In a statement issued on Monday, the FCCPC Director of Corporate Affairs, Ondaje Ijagwu, said the court dismissed the originating summons filed by WASPAN in its entirety and rejected all the reliefs sought by the association.
