We have seen impressive growth curve in business this last decade, even as we continue to expand our reach in other markets.

This can also be seen as a testament to our strong resolve in becoming one of the Nigeria’s most influential brands by the next decade.

The role we hope to play in tomorrow’s Nigeria is one of a partnership- a catalyst-to positive change using innovative mobile solutions to impact state life in a broader scale.

What we see a robust and increasingly segmented space with better informed end users who understand mobile phone specifications and make purchases based on key features like audio quality, camera, internet connectivity and mobile compatibility to 3G, 4G, and 4G LTE networks.

Head, Consumer Protection Council, Lagos, Joshua Yakubu said consumers should get value for their money. Consumers should get enough information before buying a product to enable its optimal usage.

In his remarks, Director Laboratory Service, Standard Organization of Nigeria, Louis Njoku said we are pained by lots of substandard products in the economy. Consumers buy fake phones that can only contribute negatively to their health.

Recently SON has reviewed its Act which has the powers to arrest substandard goods for prosecution. We urge Tecno to start thinking of producing phones in Nigeria. SON supports any genuine company that does the right thing following instruction and compliance.
