Welcome to CADEF

Empowering Consumers and Advancing Standards Since 2008

The Collective Voice of Every Nigerian Consumer

We speak for consumers, especially those unheard in policy rooms and underserved in communities. We engage the systems that shape everyday life, challenging low standards, poor enforcement, and exclusion.

What We Do?

Services

“In giving rights to others which belong to them, we give rights to ourselves and to our country.”  — John F. Kennedy 

Advocacy

CADEF seeks to ensure that consumers, particularly those who are most vulnerable in Society, are able to defend and safeguard their rights and have their voices heard on issues that concern them.

Consumer Protection

CADEF seeks to reduce the proliferation of sub-standard goods and services and its effects on consumers. To partner with stakeholders to provide information, resources, testing and demand for compensation.

Empowerment

We believe in empowering individuals and groups to increase their autonomy and selfdetermination economically and socially. This requires providing information and innovative practices that promote participation and accountability amongst consumers
