QNET Assures Consumers of Quality Products at World Consumer Rights Day Celebration

QNET, a global lifestyle and wellness direct selling company, has assured Nigerian consumers of quality products and protection from substandard products.

The company said this during the 2026 World Consumer Rights Day celebration, organised by the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA) with the theme: ‘Safe Products, Confident Consumers’.

Speaking during a panel session, the General Manager of QNET Nigeria, Mr. Ayokunmi Solesi, advised consumers to be conscious of the products they buy and the source from where they purchase their products. 

“We want our consumers to know what QNET stands for. We are a global lifestyle and wellness company and we’re also into the direct selling space which is giving individuals opportunities to sell our products. QNET partnered with LASCOPA to further raise consumer awareness on QNET’s products. To buy right, consumers must visit our website to see the range of products on display and make purchase directly in order to avoid buying from wrong sources that sell substandard products,” Solesi said.

He reiterated the importance of clear communication between companies and consumers, identifying misinformation as one of the biggest challenges facing businesses in Nigeria. He stressed that beyond regulatory compliance, companies must take deliberate steps to educate consumers on product usage and business models.
“As a global company, the same products available in Nigeria are also available in Europe. All our products are certified by regulatory bodies such as the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC),” he said.
He maintained that QNET does not have issues with substandard products, noting that its offerings meet international standards. However, he emphasised that misinformation often leads to confusion about the company’s operations.

In another panel session moderated by the Country Lead for Nigeria at Newmark Group/Director, Consumer Advocacy and Empowerment Foundation (CADEF), Lovelyn Okafor, themed: ‘Consumer Education as a Tool against Exploitation and Fraud’, the panelists stressed the need for government and organistions to protect consumers from exploitation and market abuses, in order to boost consumers’ trust.      

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, who was represented at the event by the state’s Attorney General/Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Lawal Pedro (SAN), also joined industry stakeholders to raise awareness on the rights of consumers across Nigeria and the world at large.

According to the governor, celebrating the annual World Consumer Rights Day will continuously remind everyone that the rights of consumers must be respected and protected, and above all, must be guided against market abuses and social injustices, which undermine rights of consumers. He said the global consumer movement has grown into a powerful force spanning over one hundred countries, reminding governments and businesses alike that the strength of any economy ultimately rests on the confidence of its consumers.

“Globally, unsafe or substandard products and poorly regulated services cause millions of injuries each year, and billions of Naira are lost annually through defective goods, unsafe appliances, counterfeit medicines, and misleading marketing practices. Even more concerning is the rise of cross-border digital commerce where products banned in one country may still find their way to consumers in another through online platforms,” Sanwo-Olu said.

In his welcome address, the General Manger of LASCOPA, Mr. Afolabi Solebo, said the agency remained resolute in its mandate to promote consumer rights, protect residents from unfair trade practices, and foster responsible participation in the marketplace.

“The celebration underscores our shared resolve to shield consumers from substandard, counterfeit, and expired products, as well as deficient services. Through strategic collaboration with government institutions, private sector stakeholders, and the public, LASCOPA has evolved into a credible platform for dialogue, innovation, and effective dispute resolution throughout Lagos State,” Solebo said.
