The commission aims to ascertain whether the price hikes are justified and whether they align with consumer expectations and industry standards.

During the interview, Abdullahi also provided updates on other regulatory matters. He mentioned the summons issued to the owner of a Chinese store in Abuja accused of discriminatory and sharp practices.
