 SON Warns Tyre Dealers Against Sale of Substandard Products


The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has reaffirmed its commitment to tackling the sale of substandard tyres in the country, warning dealers to prioritize consumer safety and road security.


Speaking at a Tyre Stakeholders’ Forum in Apo Mechanic Village on Thursday, SON’s Director-General, Dr. Ifeanyi Okeke, stressed the need for retailers to ensure that only high-quality tyres are sold. He highlighted the dangers of substandard tyres, including compromised performance, reduced durability, and increased accident risks.


Okeke, represented by SON’s North Regional Director, Dr. Marilyn Waziri, also linked the issue to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), noting that poor-quality tyres could hurt Nigeria’s market competitiveness.


“We must reduce the influx of substandard tyres. This initiative is not to push traders out of business but to ensure road safety and maintain market standards,” he said.


SON’s FCT Coordinator, Gamagira Isiaka, echoed the agency’s commitment to enforcing tyre quality standards, while Abuja Automobile Dealers Association Chairman, Samuel Akah, assured compliance with SON’s regulations.


The forum, attended by representatives from the Federal Road Safety Corps and the Nigeria Police Force, featured discussions on tyre preservation and safety measures.
