World Consumers Rights Day, is a global event celebrated every March 15, with the aim to raise awareness about the rights of consumers.

The theme was adapted from the 2023 WCRD global theme, “Empowering Consumers through Clean Energy Transitions,” to suit the Nigerian society.
Every year BJAN joins the world to celebrate the global event by drawing attention to the rights of the consumers, and this year, it plans to do the same on March 15.
According to BJAN Chairman, Clara Chinwe Okoro, this year’s event will focus on the need to keep the environment safe.
“In keeping the environment safe, Brand writers will have the opportunity to hear from a global brand that has been in the business of sustainability for a long time”, Clara said.
