Standards Organisation of Nigeria
The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petition has frowned at the failure of the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to appear before its members over the seizure of manufacturing machines and finished products belonging to D and K Golden City Investments Limited in Anambra State.
The committee’s investigation is to ascertain whether the seizure, and those that had been done in the past, followed laid down rules and regulations. In a petition to the House committee, read out by the lawmakers at their recent investigative hearing, D and K Golden City Investments Limited accused SON of refusing to comply with orders of the Federal High Court, Awka dated February 27, 2011 and December 8, 2014 to release the seized items.
According to Mr. Chike Onyeali, representative of D and K Golden City Investments Limited, the petition is in defence of alleged illegal activities of SON against manufacturing companies in the country.
