NIGERIA, CHINA TO BLACKLIST, PROSECUTE 7 IMPORTERS OF SUBSTANDARD, LIFE ENDANGERING PRODUCTS

Seven companies importing substandard and life-endangering products into Nigeria from China are set to be blacklisted and their promoters prosecuted in both countries as the fight against dumping into Nigeria takes a new dimension. The exercise, according to the Director General, Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Mr. Osita Aboloma would be a continuous one.

The companies are among those identified to have persistently circumvented Nigeria’s import regime by their deliberate and consistent refusal to comply with the Standards Organisation of Nigeria off-shore Conformity Assessment Programme (SONCAP).
