Goods Made in China Importers Association, GMIA, has advised Nigerians to stop blaming China for substandard products in circulation but rather, saying some greedy and unpatriotic Nigerian importers should be blamed, alongside those manning our borders.
According to a statement signed by Charles Udogaranya, Secretary of the association, this counsel has become necessary as the ever-increasing blame game is growing into a proportion that may affect the cordial economic relations between the Asian Tiger and the African giant.
He said: “To put the record straight, we can confidently inform that from Beijing to Shanghai, to Guangzhou, to Shenzhen, Xiamen and across small and big cities in China, substandard products rarely exist.
"China produces for various nations in the world, including USA, Australia, Britain and European with standardized quality. The exception here is the fraudulent conduct of a few Nigerian importers that would put pressure on their Chinese manufacturers to make poor quality and cheap goods for the local market in Nigeria and to lure more patronage due to the economic condition in the country.
“We advise Nigerian buyers to only buy quality products as they will outlive the cheap and poor substandard products and in the long run, save money.
“We believe that if Nigerians can patronize only high quality products, importation of poor and substandard products will die naturally from our local markets.”
