The article explained the connection between “The law,intellectual property snd the fashion industry”.It exposed the challenges faced in the fashion industry one of which is that there’s no general regulation for that sector or area reason being that it is a navel area and just evolving.The writer however,exposed the regulations that are connected with the industry which is also intertwined with intellectual property laws.They include Trade mark by virtue of the Trade Mark Act T13LFN 2004,Copy Right Act LFN 2022 and the Patent and Design Act 1979(Cap 2 LFN 1970).All these laws were highlighted as regulations to safeguard the rights of individuals or agreements or affairs and activities in the fashion industry.The Consumer Protection Council was also stated as playing a major role in the protection of these rights.However,I wish the writer threw more light on this and explained more how it connects to the fashion industry.In addition to what was written I’d like to add this,The Consumer Protection Council is an agency of the government of Nigeria  with the mandate of addressing consumers complaints providing consumer education and encouraging trade,industry and professional associates to develop and enforce quality standards designed to safeguard the interest of consumers,this is the nexus between the council and the fashion industry,they safeguard the protection of consumers directly or indirectly  involved in the sector

Hi Stephanie, 

I love your review and your choice of words. However, I feel your amazing review would have been more highlighted with the use of Paragraphs in order to outline an easy read for the audience. Thanks.

I agree, I truly enjoyed the reading this but the information just seems "jam packed". I appreciate how you communicated your opinions respectfully and how you enlightened us on the relevance of the Consumer Protection Council to the Fashion Industry. Thank you for sharing your opinions.

Thanks for the corrections and it has been noted. I will work on that next time.I am having a bit of challenge getting used to the app and how it operates that’s why,when the write up was made it wasn’t jam packed.
