Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has begun enforcement actions against digital money lenders that failed to meet the January 5, 2026, deadline to regularise their operations under the 2025 Digital Lending Rules.
The commission announced the move in a statement shared on its official X account, noting that the compliance window for affected operators has now closed.
FCCPC Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tunji Bello, said the enforcement actions are intended to promote transparency, discipline, and consumer confidence in the digital lending sector, while ensuring due process.
