Abstract

This project work conducts a critical legal literature review on e-commerce transaction issues in Nigeria. The paper focuses much on pressing legal issues concerning data protection of e-consumers and unfair trade practices exhibited by unscrupulous e-traders. The paper also examines issues concerning consumer protection institutions with a view to assessing their effectiveness in protecting consumers in the country. The paper adopts a doctrinal research methodology in achieving its objective. The paper reveals that e-commerce contributes immensely to the global economy. That Nigeria stands to derive a lot of economic benefits from e-commerce transactions. That unfair trade practices and data protection as well as institutional problems pose a serious threat to the Nigeria consumers who desire to utilise the Internet for commercial transactions. The paper, therefore, recommends a systematic legislative reform that will address online data protection and unfair trade practices problems in the country. The paper also recommends holistic reforms in the institutional infrastructure for e-commerce and consumer protection in the country.
