Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has directed the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) to open an investigation into Meta, Google, X and AI platforms.
The probe follows a petition by Nigeria's major media organisations accusing the global technology companies of anti-competitive practices, unauthorised use of news content and unfair commercial treatment.
The move fits a wider global debate over how large tech platforms share content and revenue with news publishers. The FCCPC's findings could set a precedent for Nigeria's regulation of digital markets in the years ahead.
