Why Gov't Must Stop Production, Proliferation Of Substandard Steel Products — Awoyale
==========

The National President of Iron Rod and Steel Distributors Employers Union of Nigeria (IRSDEUN), Chief Gbenga Awoyale, emphasizes the need for the government to halt the production and circulation of substandard steel products in Nigeria. Awoyale highlights the challenges faced by the union, including the proliferation of substandard steel products and touting in Lagos State. He also raises concerns about foreign companies producing low-quality steel products in Nigeria and increasing prices to force end-users to buy directly from them. Awoyale criticizes the government for not making progress in the fight against substandard steel products and calls for the passage of a law to criminalize the production of such products. He attributes the ineffective fight against substandard products to influence peddling, lack of manpower and modern technology at the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), policy summersault, and lack of continuity. Awoyale suggests that SON should improve its approach and actions, operate in a more open manner, and review the law establishing the organization. He also urges the government to support the union in its fight against substandard steel products.
