Director-General of Standard Organisation of Nigeria, SON, Dr. Joseph Odumodu, yesterday, said that activities of counterfeiters in the country have helped increase Nigeria’s already bloated labour market.
Odumodu said the scourge has also seen to the closure of many legitimate companies with their workforce thrown into the labour market, leaving untold hardships that put undue pressure on family and Odumodu, who made the assertion at the HP Anti- Counterfeit Africa Conference in Abuja, yesterday, said that the mere realisation of the untold hardship Nigerians go through as a result of the effects of consuming counterfeit products was why his organisation “is bent on sanitising the Computer village market, Ikeja.”
He regretted that the computer market in Ikeja, known around the world as the largest IT market in Africa, sells more of counterfeit products than original.
