The Nigerian dairy market is dominated by fat-filled milk powder , which is produced by blending skimmed milk powder with vegetable fat after removing some or all of the original milk fat,by Noteworthy and Nigerian news outlet Premium Times into Irish dairy in Nigeria has found that large volumes of cheap European exports into West Africa have outcompeted local milk on price. Nigeria spends close to U.S.$1.

The investigation has also shown that the fat-filled powder is advertised and sold as milk to Nigerians unaware of the difference between real milk and this alternative. PREMIUM TIMES also found widespread misinformation about FFMP among traders of dairy products in major markets across the country, particularly in Abuja, Enugu, Kano and Lagos states where we surveyed.
