acting State Coordinator, Mr Murtala Sa\u2019ad, he promised to make the exercise a regular one across the nation so as to stop persons selling fake products from circulating them.<br \/>\nSalim explained that the market shop and warehouse had brand new fertiliser bags with SON certification logo which he said could be probably used for re-bagging of adulterated fertilisers.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, 15,106 customised brands of Indorama fertiliser company bags and packaging materials where discovered and quarantined.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\"

\/>\nHe added that SON had engaged stakeholders in an effort to curb the menace of fake fertiliser in Kano markets.<\/p>\n<p>He also restated the commitment of the organisation to rid the state and country of fake, unwholesome and substandard products.<br \/>\nSome dealers and distributors of fertilizer, who spoke to NAN, appreciated the objectives and role of SON in ensuring products manufactured in Nigeria compete in quality with best brands anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p>They also promised to cooperate and share intelligence with the organisation in order to rid the market of substandard fertilisers.<br \/>\nThey also commended the efforts of the director-general of SON and the compliance team in their resolve toward ensuring that manufacturers adopted best practices.<\/p>\n<p>The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the exercise caught dealers of new and branded bags with SON certification logo unawares.<br \/>\nThe officials of SON were accompanied by NSCDC personnel to seal off the shop and warehouse.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on
