Kano CPC uncovers firm producing adulterated cooking oil
The Kano State Consumer Protection Council (KSCPC) says it has uncovered a place where adulterated cooking oil is being produced.
The discovery of the illicit activity was part of the commission’s efforts to protect the people from using unwholesome, fake and adulterated products.
The council’s managing director, Idris Bello-Danbazau, disclosed this in a statement by the council’s spokesman, Musbahu Yakasai, in Kano on Wednesday.
Mr Bello-Danbazau, represented by the governor’s senior special assistant on quality assurance, Sale Muhammad, led an inspection team to the place at Dakata Rinji, Nasarawa local government, in Kano metropolis.
According to him, the cooking oil refining is near a huge refuse collection centre. He explained that the place was unhygienic and dangerous to the people’s health.
“KSCPC is not meant to downgrade or destabilise someone’s business but to make some corrections. This will improve their trades and for the consumers to buy standard products,” the MD said.
Also speaking, a director at the council, Tijjani Jafaru, noted that the KSCPC received information on Wednesday about the place where a team of instructors immediately visited the area.
He called on the public to continue supporting KSCPC to achieve its set objectives.
