The African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) which establishes a single market for goods and services, connects 1.3 billion people across 55

The Rule of Origin is a criterion where participating countries must source their products locally. There is also a provision to guide against the transhipment of products outside the African market.

AfCFTA, If fully implemented, according to World Bank, is estimated to boost regional income by seven per cent or $450 billion speeding up wage growth and lifting 30 million people out of extreme poverty by 2035 and Nigeria is determined to get a fair share of this market with the introduction of the Product Authentication Mark , an initiative of SON to mitigate the impact of substandard products’ dumping in the country and counter fraudulent businesses in the region that may want to circumvent...

However, because of the rampant application of the Mark on non-certified products, SON now controls the printing of the features through physical and digital technology. The statement further explained that PAM was introduced to ensure effective control of non-complying products in the Nigerian market and to protect genuine importers from faking and product adulteration by ensuring that only SON-certified products are in the markets in the long run.

“In West Africa, Ghana, Sierra Leon and Liberia who even came to discuss with us have already started it and they are doing very well. Also, businesses in the country will ensure they have good manufacturing practices and satisfactory analysis reports for their products.
