The statement reads:

“On December 6, 2022, in furtherance of the collaboration of the Inter-Agency Joint Task Force, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission extended the deadline for the registration of Digital Money Lenders to January 31, 2023.

“This was to ensure the registration of DMLs whose registration was still in process and to prevent significant market disruptions.

“The Commission noted, however, that several DMLs have not yet provided all relevant documentation to complete their registration process.

FR“To this end, the Commission is further extending the registration deadline to Monday, March 27, 2023.”

Digital loan lenders arrest

In March 2022, the Cable revealed that FCCPC in conjunction with the ICPC, the National Information Technology Development Agency(NITDA), and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) raided the offices of “illegal” digital loan companies operating in Ikeja, Lagos over alleged consumer rights abuse.

The commission noted customers had accused the financial institutions of violating their privacy in their debt recovery drive.
