No fewer than 10warehouses of lubricating oil were raided and sealed by the StandardsOrganization of Nigeria SON in different parts of Kano over what they called‘sharp practices’ taking place in the sector.
The organizationaccused the affected dealers of selling base oil to unsuspecting customers asengine oil, which was supposed to be a raw material for engine oil, as a resultof which the customers were not getting value for their money.
Speaking to journalistduring the raid, Kano State coordinator of SON, Yunusa B. Muhammad, said theaction was a directive from the Director General of the organisation, AnthonyOsita Aboloma, that markets in the state must be rid of unwholesome practices.
Muhammad said the fewmanufacturers that are in the state had the capacity to import their rawmaterial, it was therefore a great concern to the organization as to who wasbuying and using the unfinished product.
Chairman of one of thesealed warehouses, Hamisu Muhammad Dantinki, said he was not disturbed by theexercise as according to him, SON was only trying to sanitize the business.
