Acting Executive Vice Chairman of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Dr. Adamu Abdullahi, has confirmed that the Abuja Chinese supermarket, which was sealed last week for discriminating against Nigerians, priced all its products in Chinese yen instead of the Nigerian naira.<\/p>\n
Abdullahi revealed this in a recent interview with Channels TV in Abuja, published on the agency\u2019s YouTube channel yesterday.<\/p>\n
The commission sealed the supermarket located within the China General Chamber of Commerce following accusations of discriminatory practices against Nigerians.<\/p>\n
Abdullahi disclosed that one of the discoveries made in the supermarket was that all pricing was done in yen, which violates Nigerian law. He noted that the allegations of discrimination were confirmed as the supermarket only allowed Chinese residents in the estate to enter, excluding Nigerians.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe discovery was significant when our officials visited the supermarket. All the products were labelled in yen, the only currency accepted. This is against Nigerian law. You cannot sell products in foreign currency; everything sold in Nigeria should be in Nigerian currency.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also confirmed that they only allowed Chinese people into the supermarket. We have instructed the owner to put up a notice stating that everyone can enter the supermarket and shop. We are discussing with her to rectify the situation,\u201d remarked Abdullahi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
