Osita Aboloma, SON’s Director General, explained during the destruction exercise, which took place at the agency’s dumpsite in Epe, Lagos State,
“We are destroying these substandard products worth over N450 million. These products have been labelled substandard after we carried out due diligence and conformity assessment to requisite standards on them,” The substandard products we are destroying today range from bulbs, cables, tyres, shaving sticks and aluminum coils among others. We decided to perform the destruction exercise on two sites-Ogba and Epe. We are destroying especially the expired tyres and bad aluminum coils at our Ogba warehouse. The tyres and coils require specialised mechanical equipment as well as special handling for their destruction as their particles could be recycled and useful for other industrial purposes,” he said
