Coordinator, Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), in-charge of Rivers and Bayelsa, has warned manufacturers against producing and trading in substandard products to avoid prosecution.
Ayuba gave the advice on Monday, in Port Harcourt, at the presentation of 31 certificates to 27 different manufacturing companies, tagged: “SON Certification, a stimulant to industrialization growth”.
He said that the significance of the certification was to provide guarantees of safety and confidence to manufacturers and consumers in Rivers and Bayelsa, as well as the country at large.
He urged consumers to express dissatisfaction, through consumer complaint desks, on any substandard products sold to them in stores, markets or companies.
According to him, this would enable SON to prosecute manufacturers who refused to produce standard products in the country.
“This is so important because we will use the distributors to reach the companies where these products are manufactured and prosecute them for not complying with the Nigerian manufacturing standards.
