WHAT I DID WHEN ONE OF OUR CHILDREN WAS CONFIRMED TO HAVE BEEN BORN WITH A CONGENITAL DEFECT - Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche During the first Sunday Service on 27th April 2025 at the Glory Dome, Dr. Paul Enenche charged the faith of the congregation by narrating what he did when it was confirmed that one of his children was born with a congenital defect for God to reverse the situation. "They said one of our children was born with a congenital defect. It was fully confirmed. I'm a Doctor, my wife is a Doctor, so we knew what they were saying and we saw it. And I said, no, every good and perfect gift cometh from Above. God is the Giver of gifts, He doesn't give apple that is rotten. He cannot give you a gift and He brought it damaged. That thing disappeared under 24 hours, it was not repeated the next day", he resounded. He further admonished them to always be loaded with the Word of God ready to challenge any negative news or situation before they will arise.

TRIBUNAL UPHOLDS N190 MILLION FINE AGAINST NBC FOR MISLEADING COKE PACKAGING. The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CCPT) in Abuja has upheld a N190 million fine against the Nigerian Bottling Company Limited (NBC). The fine relates to misleading packaging on Coke products, specifically the “Original Taste, Less Sugar” variant, which was found to mislead consumers into believing it was identical to the regular “Original Taste” version. Despite NBC’s attempts to contest the penalty, the Tribunal reaffirmed that the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) was justified in issuing the fine. The issue dates back to allegations made by the FCCPC, which claimed that NBC and its partner, Coca-Cola Nigeria Ltd (CCNL), engaged in misleading trade descriptions and deceptive marketing practices. NBC, however, took the matter to the Tribunal, appealing for the fine to be overturned. The company argued that the mislabeling was not intentional but was due to a production error at one of its plants. The mislabeling occurred at NBC’s Abuja plant, which, according to NBC, was an isolated incident. NBC’s legal team, led by Oluseye Opasanya (SAN), contended that the findings of the FCCPC were overreaching. They questioned the adequacy of the evidence used to impose the fine, suggesting that the investigation should have extended to other factories to establish whether the mislabeling occurred at a broader scale. In their defence, they pointed out that the alleged misrepresentation was an unintentional mistake, not a deliberate act of deception. The Tribunal, however, was not swayed. In its ruling, chaired by Thomas Okosun, the Tribunal dismissed NBC’s appeal, stating that the actions of the company were indeed misleading and in violation of the law. The Tribunal found that NBC’s approach to settling the issue with the FCCPC after the judgment had been reserved was improper and contrary to legal norms. As Okosun noted, such a settlement attempt post-judgment reservation “undermines the FCCPC’s role as a regulator” and “exceeds its powers.” The Tribunal further criticised the manner in which the FCCPC handled the settlement. Despite earlier indications that a settlement had been reached, the Tribunal found that accepting the settlement after final addresses had been submitted was inappropriate and beyond the Commission’s regulatory remit. The Tribunal made it clear that it would not indulge in private compromises and upheld its duty to the public by sticking to its constitutional mandate. Ultimately, the Tribunal ruled that the N190 million penalty imposed by the FCCPC was both lawful and appropriate, in line with the provisions of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) and the 1999 Constitution. NBC was given 60 days to pay the fine. This ruling is part of a bigger issue, with Coca-Cola Nigeria Ltd and the FCCPC also engaged in a separate case over an additional N186.67 million penalty related to the company’s labelling and marketing practices. For now, the FCCPC has agreed not to take further enforcement action against NBC or Coca-Cola until the appeals are resolved. #news #breakingnews
