The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has warned dealers across the country against the use and circulation of substandard tyres in the country.

Speaking at a Tyre Stakeholders’ Forum held at Apo Mechanic Village over the weekend, SON’s Director-General, Dr. Ifeanyi Okeke, emphasized the critical need for dealers to ensure that only high-quality tyres reach consumers.

At the event with the theme: ‘Tyre Awareness -A National Imperative,’ Okeke urged retailers to uphold quality standards, adding that “As a retailer, you have to select the type of tyres you are going to sell to consumers. Enough of substandard tyres,” Okeke warned.

Represented by Dr. Marilyn Waziri, Director of SON’s North Regional Zone, Okeke, underscored the dangers associated with substandard tyres and the implications of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
