SON To Reduce Substandard Goods By Dec 31
The Standards
Organisation of Nigeria (SON), has declared its preparedness to implement the policy of reducing the quantity of substandard goods in Nigeria by December 31, 2015.
Speaking to newsmen in Lagos on Monday, the Director General of SON, Dr. Joseph Odumodu said the battle against substandard products would be total, stressing that the organisation would reduce substandard products in the country to 10 per cent by December 2015.
Odumodu said the newly amended SON Act by the National Assembly has given more statutory powers to the organisation to deal more effectively with those bent on sabotaging economic policies of the government, especially those geared towards industrialization and job creation, among others.
He said SON will not allow the circulation of substandard products as adequate measures have been put in place to checkmate such circulation of fake and substandard products in Nigeria.
He pleaded with the federal government to return the SON officials back to the nation’s seaport for the organisation to perform its statutory roles of identification of fake and substandard products coming into the country through the nation’s various seaports.
The DG of SON emphaisized that SON would always work with other stakeholders and law enforcement agencies to reduce fake products.
