Why FCCPC Unsealed Abuja Chinese Supermarket

After series of investigations, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has unsealed the Abuja based Chinese Supermarket which was earlier sealed for reportedly discriminating against its Nigerian customers.

GWG.ng reports that Liu Bei in the company of her family and estate officials arrived at the commission headquarters located in Asokoro on Wednesday at 11 am to defend the allegation of discrimination against her.

This development came after summons and threat of sanctions by the FCCPC on Monday after it sealed her store.

But Liu Bei in a statement sent to The PUNCH, refuted allegations that her store catered exclusively to a particular group, emphasizing that she served residents, workers, and visitors from the office building, irrespective of nationality.

Giving an update, the estate assistant facility manager, Sanusi Shuaibu, in a telephone chat with the publication, disclosed that the issue had been resolved and officials of the commission had unsealed the grocery store.

He said, “Yes, we went to the commission today and all the issues have been resolved. The owner of the supermarket was also present at the meeting with the officials. The owner tried to explain the situation and they allowed everyone involved to explain what really happened.”

“They also asked us to submit some documents, which we did and they also asked her (the owner) some questions. After the meeting, we left the commission and they came to unseal the supermarket.

“They also checked the products in the store and we provided answers to all the questions asked. The store is now open and the woman has returned to her shop.”

An official who works at the FCCPC also confirmed that the supermarket owner appeared at the meeting.

“I saw some persons including the Chinese woman at our office earlier today and a few hours later, our enforcement officers left the premises but I don’t know if they went to unseal the place or not,” the official said.
