The Kano State Consumer Protection Council has begun an investigation into complaints by members of the public regarding the sale of solar panels that do not meet the power output specifications indicated on their labels.
The Executive Secretary of the KCPC, Dr Ibrahim Garba-Muhammad, made this known in a statement issued by the council’s Director of Public Enlightenment, Jamilu Mustapha, on Wednesday in Kano.
“The council will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and take appropriate action in line with relevant consumer protection laws if the claims are substantiated.
“We will ensure that consumers are protected from deceptive trade practices and products that do not meet approved quality standards,” he said.
Garba-Muhammad commended the complainants for drawing the council’s attention to the matter.
