awareness influence Nigerian consumers when making buying decisions.

above issues from the perspective of Nigerian consumers. To this end, a questionnaire was developed and used to
collect data from 282 respondents. The data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings – This study found that halal certification mark and halal brand quality are the most influential
factors that contributed to the consumers’ buying decisions in Nigeria.

needed in the area of halal awareness in Nigeria. Similarly, the study argues that halal brand quality should
always be held at the esteemed position. Based on the study’s findings, the authors have been able to fill the
literature gap, particularly in the context of the Nigerian halal industry. |
