Nigerian manufacturers threaten to sack 20,000 workers
The Galvanised Iron and Steel Manufacturers’ Association, has urged the authority of the Standard Organization of Nigeria, to address the germane issue of curbing the importation of substandard galvanized roofing sheets into the country.
He noted that despite the presence of State Coordinators of the agency nationwide, “it is saddening that the nooks and crannies of the country are flooded with substandard roofing sheet products.” He condemned SON over its attempt to divert the attention of Nigerians away from its responsibility of providing holistic atmosphere for Steel and Iron Manufacturers stressing that Aluminium roofing sheet is a smaller fraction of the total market.
“Importation of substandard products is tantamount to waging war against the Federal Government’s policies of discouraging the supply of illicit items capable of causing havoc and short-charging the citizenry. “Questions begging for answers: Was the fine imposed in accordance with to the statutory permission or was the fine imposed after the arraignment of culprits before a competent court of law for gross economic sabotage and flagrant contravention of Nigerians laws against substandard products?
