Speaking during a joint National Assembly Committee on Industry while giving his opening remarks at the 2023 budget performance and 2024 budget proposal defence in Abuja, the director general of SON, Dr Ifeanyi Okeke, reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to intensifying its fight against fake and substandard goods in the country.

Okeke also pledged his unflinching commitment to serving the nation to best of his ability.
The SON boss said the organisation was making aggressive efforts to rid the nation of substandard products, stressing that the agency has intensified its products testing to ensure that locally produced goods are competitive in its bid to contribute to Nigeria’s export market.

According to him, the best way to surge up the naira against other foreign currency is to increase export of made in Nigeria good.

While responding, the chairman of the Senate Committee for Industry, Trade and Investment Distinguished Senator Ade Fadahunsi, commended SON in its efforts to partner with MSMEs to grow the sector.
