“In Nigeria, there is a specific body that has been set up to help consumers deal with issues where companies have either provided poor service or they have sold substandard goods to the consumer. This organization is the Consumer Protection Council – CPC. The CPC is an agency of the Government under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment. It commenced operations in Nigeria in 1999. The CPC has 5 primary functions – To inform consumers about their rights To eliminate hazardous products from the market and ensure that products and services comply with required standards/specifications To issue guidelines and regulations to producers of goods and services To prosecute offenders when and where necessary To provide redress to consumer complaints So, all in all, the CPC is a pretty powerful agency, it is in fact the most powerful consumer redress and monitoring agency in Nigeria.” https://lawpadi.com/complain-bad-product-service-nigeria/ |

EgunMogaji: http://www.cpc.gov.ng/ yes there is. and it seems they do get the job done. a colleague bought a mercury inverter from coscharis. it had some issues, they gave him the run around, he reported to CPC, and the issues were resolved. another way to resolve disputes is to get the customer service emails and start registering your complaints; then erm doxx the big ogas and copy them in the mail trail if there is no response this has worked for me with an ekedc issue. 1 Like |

oyb: Nice, I found them too. So no more need for big big colorful senile grammar ![]() Anyone can report to the agency it seems. Icing on the cake will be to get a copy of the sales contract as evidence. I’m very impressed by what I read. So Nigeria is getting quite a bit of things right. Thanks kind Sir. 1 Like |

baaliyah: I'm far from an expert so take my advice with a grain of sand. Once plumbing and electrical have been done then install the windows and doors together with plastering. Don't allow them to piecemeal it because it may become an unneeded expense. Cobble the work together at the same time. You can join artwork to the roster there too. Good luck on your project Sir. |

EgunMogaji:/ The business environment in Nigeria is very different. The only check point is where money is transferred. Due diligence is necessary before that point because most problems come up after money has exchanged hands. Some people may think that business in Nigeria is a morality contest whereby treating folks in a certain kind of way guarantees good results. It boils down to respect. Litigation is time-consuming. Arbitration is highly informal. Surprisingly, some may even see kindness as weakness. Don't get me started with the snakes that inject Jesus Christ and God in negotiations to butter up unsuspecting clients. Like always, some newbies will always beg to differ until they learn the hard way. So it is best to stick to the terms of business contracts and take the self-righteousness to the churches. / 1 Like |

allCopacetic: Well, I think you meant you haven't met a customer that you don't want to sell to ![]() Basically here, a business has a right to refuse service or even allow entry to a client into their business. So customers were claiming discrimination so the legislators passed a law that businesses can indeed refuse service. Of course, as business owners, you only want to enact that in only the worst scenario. Customers are not always right, some customers.

EgunMogaji:Egun we all knew there are many government agencies, the question is are the effective. my answer to that is NO. I give example about two years ago, I booked flight from London en route Lagos to Abuja all schedule ok not until Lagos to Abuja, stupid Dana delay my flight of 45 minutes for 2 1/2 hours. With all those shit, I had to book another airline arrow contractor paid close to double fee not miss my appointment and programs. To cut the story short, I requested for my refund. They didn’t refund or even offer to rebook, I had to contact these same agency lodge complain, the did contact me 2 days later for follow up since then nothing my money is still with Dana airline till date. Now tell me, if it’s here will they even try that. 3 Likes |
