- Barrister Anthony Osita Aboloma, yesterday in Abuja, assumed duty as the substantive Director General/CEO of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON).This is also as he has vowed to use his background as a lawyer to push for the prosecution of those who deal in substandard products to another level.
- In a brief hand-over ceremony, former acting Director-General of the agency, Paul Angya , said the agency in the last few months had doubled efforts in the war against substandard products and had made substantial progress in the implementation of its programmes.
- While pledging his unreserved loyalty to the new DG, Angya enjoined the staff to support the new DG in order to lift the agency to greater heights.
- He also drew his attention to ongoing efforts to ensure that goods being imported from China and other Asian countries conform to the nation’s industrial standard.
- Specifically, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between China and Nigeria that would address the issuance of Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) to importers who request for the production of sub-standard goods for the country will be pursued.
