Abstract:This paper examines the development of product labels in Nigeria. It highlights the successes and developments in product labelling, i.e. the information provided to consumers about a product at the point of sale, such as size and composition of the product, place of production, name of the manufacturer or trademark. The paper critically analyses the approaches adopted in labelling, especially in relation to Nigerian culture and traditions. This is because product labels in this country are still mostly communicated in foreign languages and without a proper consideration of Nigerian norms, culture and values regarding communication. The paper therefore recommends ways by which regulatory agencies can promote their aims from an African or Nigerian perspective. Bibliogr., sum. [Journal abstract, edited]
