Nokia urge Nigerians to snub inferior phones

Sinan in Lagos on Monday said that substandard
products had no value for the money spent on them.
He also said that counterfeited product was
hazardous to the users' health due to excessive
radiation from the fake device, adding that such
product also do not have long life span.
Sinan said that consumers were often constrained by
ignorance, poverty and the inability to detect
substandard devices to buy fake mobile phones.
According to him, this may be harmful to them.
"Incidentally, mobile phones and their accessories
are not different as many consumers opted for
substandard devices because of the cheap price tag
on the fake ones that look like the original.
"In spite of the efforts made by the government
agencies to combat substandard devices, they
appear to have taken a foothold to the detriment of
consumers, manufacturers and government alike.''
Sinan lamented that counterfeiting had become
pervasive as it affected every consumer product,
ranging from household items, telecommunication
devices and household items.
He urged producers of genuine phones to partner
with the government agencies to educate consumers
in order to stem the influx of substandard devices
into the market.
He said that Nokia had a strategy of recruiting,
training and equipping Nigerians to offer world-class
services.
