CPC alerts Nigerians on imminent shipment of contaminated radioactive goods into Nigeria The Consumer Protection Council (CPC) has been notified of an impending shipment of contaminated radioactive goods from one of the Asian countries to Africa, especially Nigeria, in form of Aid. In view of this information, the Council wishes to alert all citizens, particularly faith-based institutions, Red Cross, non-governmental organizations and charity homes, which could be beneficiaries of Aid from external bodies to always ascertain the quality of such material support from technically-equipped government agencies. Similarly, Nigerians should generally be conscious of all material support from external bodies at this time as contaminated Aid can also be channeled through other routes. Though government is taking proactive steps to prevent such shipment from entering the shores of the country, Nigerians are, however, cautioned to be more alert. According to information made available to the Council, the contaminated radioactive goods include items such as vehicles, rice and vegetables, among others. Meanwhile, the Council has already communicated this information to relevant organizations, especially those that regularly receive Aid for their operations
