World standards day is celebrated internationally each year on the fourteenth of October.
The day honors the efforts of the thousands of experts who develop voluntary standards within standards development organizations such as, International Organization for Standardization (ISO),
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
The day also aims to raise awareness among regulators, industry and consumers as to the importance of Standardization to the global economy.
Around the globe, various activities are chosen by national bodies to commemorate the date.
Speaking on the dangers of substandard or expired tyres, the state Sector Commander Federal Road Safety Corps, Mr Sunday Ajayi, said expired tyres can cause injuries and even deaths as well as damages to road infrastructure, admonishing consumers and motorists to desist from buying fairly used products as most of them are already close to their expiration date.
He advised road users to constantly maintain their vehicles and keep them in good shape before plying the road to avoid road crash.
A Pharmacist, Mr Mark Nwangwu who said, they source drugs directly from manufacturers or major distributors noted that the sale of fake and counterfeit drugs should be avoided for humanity sake.
