Standard Organisation of Nigeria opens Seme office

   

  Standards Organisation of Nigeria, SON, has inaugurated its Seme border office with assurance to intensify efforts at checking influx of substandard products into the country through land borders.

   Director-General of SON, Osita Aboloma, said the new border office would strengthen the organisation’s surveillance at the land borders, as a sizeable amount of substandard products find their way into the country via land borders.

  The Seme office, which is near Badagry, is said to be a product of a collaborative relationship between SON, other agencies and stakeholders.

  Aboloma also promised that his organisation would continue to review and update its standards to ensure goods and services conformed to the minimum requirements of the Nigerian Industrial Standards.

  In his remarks at the inauguration, Deputy Comptroller, Nigerian Customs Service, Jubo Mohammed, commended the management of SON for establishing the facility.
