The Federal Government has directed the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, FCCPC, to investigate X (formerly Twitter) Meta, and other major technology firms and Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies over alleged anti-media and anti-competitive practices in Nigeria.

The Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the FCCPC, Tunji Bello, said the commission would carry out an independent, transparent and evidence-based investigation.

Bello said the inquiry should not be seen as a of wrongdoing against any organisation, stressing that all parties would have the opportunity to present their positions before any conclusions were reached.

it will be recalled that The FCCPC had previously investigated Meta and secured a ruling in 2025 over violations of the FCCPA, leading to a $220 million fine, which the company had appealed.
