National Wire About Nigerians, Nigerian Business and Other Stories
The Director-General, Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Mr. Osita Aboloma, has said 60 days will, henceforth, be the deadline for product registration, adding that it aligns with the government policy on ease of doing business.
Speaking during a sensitization forum between SON and Alaba Electrical Dealers Association of Nigeria (EDAN) in Lagos, he said the standards agency had come out with simplified processes to encourage more businessmen to register their products.
He discouraged them from copying other people’s brands, adding that it was an economic crime to counterfeit genuine products. While urging the traders to desist from cloning successful products and importing counterfeited products into the country, Aboloma promised that SON will automate the process of product registration and reduce human interference.
