To check the incidence of building collapse, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has begun an investigation into steel-reported sharp practices, compromises, and safety concerns involving some manufacturing companies.
He explained the rationale behind the move, highlighting the discrepancy between advertised and actual product specifications, which has been linked to numerous building collapses in the country.The ongoing investigative efforts include spot checks and continuous surveillance to identify and rectify market distortions.
“You go into the market to buy an iron rod of 12mm, for instance. But when they produce, what you get is 10mm and not 12mm. This is the main reason that leads to all these building collapses that we have in the country. We are talking about the safety of our people, which is an essence of consumer protection,” he explained.
He said the investigation is in collaboration with the Standards Organisation of Nigeria and the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria , with professional input from the Nigerian Society of Engineers to guide the process and ensure compliance with production standards and fairness.
