Ondo agency gives businesses one-month deadline to register

The Ondo State Competition and Consumer Protection Agency (ODCCPA) has granted businesses in the state a one-month grace period to complete mandatory registration, according to a notice issued by its Executive Chairman, Oluyemi Fasipe, on X. This registration is obligatory for all businesses operating within Ondo State. The agency highlights that the registration is free of charge, and successful completion will result in the receipt of an official ODCCPA Registration ID and Certificate.

The one-month grace period aims to provide ample time for business owners to adhere to the new requirement before enforcement measures commence. Non-compliant businesses risk facing sanctions and applicable fines as stipulated by the law. The ODCCPA urges businesses to capitalize on the grace period and finalize their registration promptly.

The registration process can be completed online via the agency's registration portal. This initiative is part of the agency's broader efforts to bolster consumer protection and ensure adherence to relevant regulations by businesses operating in Ondo State.
