BJAN Holds 9th Consumer Rights Day March 31st Brandnewsday

The Brand Journalists Association of Nigeria (BJAN) has announced its plans to hold the 9th Consumer Rights Day celebration on the 31st of March 2021.

The decision to mark this year’s event on the chosen date was as a result of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic which was envisaged to disrupt activities within the Marketing communication industry and the country at large.

The event which has the theme, ‘’Tackling Plastic Pollution: Challenges, Solution and Benefits’’ will hold at LCCI Event & Exhibition Center, Nurudeen Olowopopo Drive, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, by 9 am.
