6) Poor Work Environment and Safety Standards
Most companies in the country are guilty of this particular dishonest business practice in Nigeria. The small medium enterprises are the worst offenders. Many, carry on their businesses in poor work environments without any safety standards. Some of these companies owned by expatriates maltreat their workers who are too afraid to report this abuse to civil rights organizations since they do not belong to any labor unions and fear to lose their jobs.
Their industrial machines have cut workers hands and some even die from accidents in these factories without real sanctions to these companies. This must stop.
