Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has directed the country's competition regulator to investigate major technology companies over alleged anti-competitive practices and unauthorised use of news content, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission said late on Monday. The FCCPC said the inquiry would examine complaints by Nigerian media groups against companies including Meta, Alphabet, X and generative artificial intelligence platforms operating in Nigeria. The complaint was submitted by the Nigerian Press Organisation, which represents newspaper owners, journalists' unions, broadcasters and online publishers.
