LAGOS — A Chinesebased company, Shijiazhuang Qixiang Chemical Co. Ltd, has been exposed over alleged exportation of sand-like toxic waste in place of caustic soda to unsuspecting Nigerian importer, Christo Ventures Ltd, in Lagos.
According to reports, the Nigerian importer had placed an order for 10 by 20ft containers of caustic soda (NaOH) from the Chinese company, but to the Christo’s amazement, the consignment was in contrast with what it expected.
Christo Ventures Ltd is said to have been a chemical importer recognised by NAFDAC and has a current permit to import, N0. 1300280 of 2013 with the item, caustic soda listed as N0.15 on the permit.
