Standards Organisation Of Nigeria
The
Director-General of Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Dr Joseph
Odumodu, said on Tuesday in Ibadan at an enlightenment programme
tagged:
“Zero Tolerance Against Substandard Products,” that the
organisation would recruit five million Nigerians into its newly
inaugurated national coalition against fake products.
“We have already formed a national coalition. Indeed, our plan
is to recruit up to five million Nigerians who are going to be part of
this crusade. We believe that five million people are a critical mass
that we will use to sustain this campaign to a level that it would be
impossible for people to bring substandard products into Nigeria,” he said.
He said that the aim of the
awareness campaign was to focus on life endangering items such as tyres, cement and
electrical products.
“We are having the campaign to sensitise people on the need to be
aware of fake products that could cost them their lives. We believe
that any fake or substandard product among these items can directly lead
to a loss of life,” Odumodu said.
To achieve its mandate, Odumodu said SON would collaborate with some
government agencies.
“We believe that by working together, we will be able to achieve the set mandate,” he said
