U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris pledged to battle price gouging, bring down costs, and ban hidden bank fees if she wins a Nov. 5 general election in which she is the Democrats’ likely presidential nominee.

“On day one, I will take on price gouging and bring down costs,” Harris told a political rally in Atlanta.

“We will ban more of those hidden fees and surprise late charges that banks and other companies use to pad their profits.”

Harris’s plan lends credibility and effectiveness to the responsive policies of Mr Tunji Bello, the dutiful Executive Vice Chairman of Nigeria’s Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCPCC) in sustainably solving arbitrary price hikes and gouging in the country.

Bello’s purposeful moves at FCCPC within this short period of his assumption of office, as affirmed by Vice President Harris, are truly in tandem with international best practices.
