Cevap

The Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme (MANCAP) is executed by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), while regulatory oversight of anti-competitive practices and market competition is held by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) operates the Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme (MANCAP) to ensure local factory products comply with national quality benchmarks. Meanwhile, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) holds the statutory authority to prohibit unfair trade combinations, combat market monopolies, and enforce fair competition alongside consumer rights protection.
