shippers occupied with such exercises. He said however the nation has heaps of
laws intended to manage the individuals who acquire fake and sub-standard
items, he said an uncommon court will be of extraordinary help in the battle
against fake items in the nation.
Odumodu uncovered
this as of late in Lagos while declaring that it has taken extra measures to
battle the flood of fake and substandard goodsý into the nation by presenting a
reference code on items in 2016. He noticed that going ahead one year from now,

five years , but rather two months to complete cases, they will need to
