World Consumer Right’s Day 2025: Bassey Akiba Message To Mark Day as a reminder to all consumers that they have right to what they consume from any source
Dear Constituents,
As we commemorate World Consumer Rights Day 2025, I am filled with a profound sense of responsibility to reflect on the journey we have taken together and the path that lies ahead. This year’s theme: “A Just Transition to Sustainable Lifestyles,” highlights the importance of making sustainable options available, affordable, and accessible to all consumers while respecting their needs and rights.

In every corner of our society, consumers form the backbone of our economy. Their voices, choices, and rights shape the marketplace, and it is imperative that we honor and protect them. Today, we stand united to reaffirm our dedication to four fundamental rights: the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose, and the right to be heard.
Our struggles as consumers often echo the challenges faced in our daily lives. From the rising costs of essential goods to the complexities of navigating legal protections, too many consumers find themselves vulnerable and uninformed. On this World Consumer Rights Day, let us remember those who have faced exploitation and ensure that their experiences guide our actions.
It is our duty as legislators to advocate for policies that empower consumers, promote transparency, and foster fair competition. We must work tirelessly to build an environment where consumers can trust the products they buy and the services they use. Together, we can create a future where every citizen has access to the information they need to make informed choices.
Here’s what to do when you noticed an expired product in Cross River and the owner of the shop refuse to discard or replace your already purchased product:
The Cross river state Consumer Protection Agency is here to receive phone calls and report on shops,pharmacies, restaurants or locations that still keep fake and expired products because they want to make money.
call this number +2348089967000 or Email: crscpa7@gmail.com
for swift response on this matter
I call upon each of you, constituents and fellow advocates, to join me in this mission. Let us raise our voices against injustice, support initiatives that champion consumer rights, and hold corporations accountable for their actions. By standing together, we can transform the marketplace into a fairer, safer, and more equitable space for all.
