"Nigerian fraudsters have given Nigeria an undeserved reputation and the IPR commercialization project which will enable the Federal Government of Nigeria to establish a stance that would detect fraudulent actions in the field of commerce with effective and detailed due diligence and by so doing impede the fraudsters ability to continue giving Nigeria a bad name.”"

"Since trademarks are crucial to the promotion of trade and economic development, and Nigeria happens to be one of the strong regional hubs of trade in Africa being the continent’s biggest economy, it is no surprise that it has attracted the world’s IP governing body in Abuja, as Nigeria hosted one of the only two World Intellectual Property Offices, WIPO in Africa, the other is hosted in Algiers, Algeria. This project would assist the Registry of Trademarks in the effective administration and enforcement of Trademarks rights in Nigeria”."
Dr Yauri Nigerian Trademark Registrar
