Consumer Redress Channels Under Nigerian Laws: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

The relational disparities between the Nigerian consumers and suppliers have been pronounced that a Nigerian consumer can only be described as a subject but not a king. It is however, palpable that there is no economy in the world that is devoid of consumer abuses and exploitation. It is regrettable that Nigerian consumers appear to be the most abused and most exploited by manufacturers (local and international), suppliers and retailers. This paper seeks to catalogue consumer redress channels for consumer education in Nigeria vis-a-vis what is obtainable in other jurisdictions with a view to making recommendations for effective consumer protection.
