Can I sue a Nigerian supplier for late delivery and lost sales under our contract?

In Nigeria
Last Updated: Apr 16, 2026
I paid 70% upfront for goods for my shop, but the supplier delivered six weeks late and I lost customers. The contract has delivery dates and a penalty clause, but they’re refusing to compensate me. What claims can I bring and what evidence will I need?

You certainly can sue. The terms of a contract are enforced strictly by courts. We will need to peruse the contract in question to determine the strength and weaknesses of your case.
