10 most common dishonest business practices in Nigeria (how to recognise and avoid them)

8) Producing Substandard Goods

Producing substandard goods is one of the notorious dishonest business practices in Nigeria. Some quack factories produce substandard goods and sell to unsuspecting consumers. The goods would often have the seal of the regulating government Ministry, Directorate or Agency.

Ready examples are the manufacture of Water and Drugs. For example, some manufactures make sachet water (pure water) indiscriminately. They do so due to inability of NAFDAC to catch and punish these dishonest business owners to serve as deterrent to others.
