%X This Study was a review of the impact of Consumers¡¯ Protection Laws and the Regulatory Schemes in Nigeria. The logical conclusion that readily flows from the context analysis of this study is that the Courts, relevant Consumer Protection Statutes and Regulatory Agencies have failed to offer the desired and much expected protection to the Consumer. Consequently, the Consumer is simply left unprotected and at the mercy of unconscionable manufacturers and pretentious traders. A model Consumer Protection Law that affords a remedy on the basis of defect in consumer goods, rather than resultant injury to the consumer among others is recommended.
