Unilever Nigeria partners with Customs to fight counterfeit products nationwide

Unilever Nigeria Plc has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Nigeria Customs Service to combat counterfeit and illicit trade, improve supply chain visibility, and ensure only authentic products reach consumers. The collaboration will focus on intelligence sharing, capacity building, product authentication, inspections, and other enforcement initiatives, though the article does not specify the exact date of the signing.

Counterfeit goods pose serious risks to public health, undermine consumer confidence, distort competition, and erode government revenue, with the beauty and personal care sector being especially vulnerable. By combining Unilever’s product authentication expertise with NCS’s enforcement capabilities, the partnership aims to protect consumers, legitimate businesses, and strengthen conditions for fair trade and economic growth.

Will you check product authenticity before buying, report suspicious goods to authorities, or support brands that invest in anti‑counterfeit measures to help protect Nigeria’s marketplace?
