<\/source><\/picture><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe General Manager, Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency, Afolabi Solebo, issued the warning during an interview with select journalists in Lagos.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cLASCOPA will now sanction businesses that deliberately fail to honour scheduled mediation sessions on legitimate consumer complaints. Where authorised by law, affected premises may be sealed. All businesses are required to treat consumer complaints and redress processes with utmost seriousness.<\/p>\n
\u201cPractices that will attract regulatory intervention include unfair trade practices, misleading advertisements, deceptive pricing, hidden charges, poor service delivery, and the manufacture or sale of substandard, counterfeit or unsafe products\u201d.<\/p>\n
Solebo warned that offenders could face applicable penalties under the law, including fines, enforcement orders, suspension of operations, prosecution, or sealing of premises.<\/p>\n
He appealed to consumers with unresolved complaints to remain patient, noting that delays often occur when businesses ignore mediation invitations. He urged all consumers to retain receipts, invoices, warranties and relevant records when filing complaints.<\/p>\n
He reaffirmed Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu\u2019s commitment to protecting consumers and building a fair business environment in Lagos. Consumer protection is a shared responsibility \u2013 businesses and consumers together build a transparent, accountable and truly consumer-friendly marketplace.<\/p>\n
