He said SON actions have really reduced the spread of substandard products in the state and the country, thereby improving the quality and standards of goods people consume.
Earlier in his remark, the SON Coordinator, Anambra state command said the courtesy visit was necessitated on the need for the two agencies to sustain the existing relationship towards getting rid of fake and substandard products in the State.
According to him, SON cannot do the works alone, hence the need to involve the NSCDC.
He appealed for the NSCDC intelligence report towards getting the source and root of unwanted products across the state.
