Fake Products: SON TARGETS 50% REDUCTION IN IMPORTATION
Standard Organization of Nigeria, SON, has disclosed that it aims to reduce importation of fake products into the country next year by about fifty per cent.
The Director in charge of Inspectorate and Compliant Directorate in SON, Mr Obiora Manafa disclosed this at a maritime stakeholders’ sensitization workshop.
Mr. Manafa, who said that SON hopes to achieve the objective through effective inspection and ensuring of compliance to the law for all imports into the country, noted that from next year, SON intends to go into markets to take samples of goods, for laboratory tests.
He pointed out that after testing, if such products are found to be substandard, they would go back to evacuate the products and arrest the owner of the shop to provide the supplier; adding that the objective is to ensure that such fake products are not allowed into the country and the importers are prosecuted to serve as deterrent for others, who may wish to do the same.
