Adulterated Goods Threaten Nigeria, Chekkit Leads Fight with Technology.

18 Jan 2024

A dark cloud of fake and dangerous food and drugs looms over Nigeria, jeopardizing the health and safety of its citizens. This alarming surge, fueled by economic hardship and the departure of major FMCG players like GSK and P&G, demands immediate action.

Heeding this call, Chekkit Technologies Corp. joins forces with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and GS1 to safeguard the Nigerian food and drug supply chain. Their powerful partnership empowers consumers with tools to protect themselves and ensure they purchase genuine products.

At the core lies Chekkit's innovative solution: blockchain-secured QR/PIN labels. Easily spotted on product packaging, these labels offer a simple and effective way to verify authenticity. Scan the QR code with your smartphone or dial the PIN on USSD; instantly know if you're holding the real deal or a dangerous counterfeit.

But the fight goes beyond one-time verifications. To incentivize participation and raise awareness, Chekkit rewards you with N100 airtime for checking five products. Every scan is a victory in the war against fake goods.

But the initiative doesn't stop there. Recognizing the need for comprehensive protection, Chekkit will launch its revolutionary Track & Trace SaaS platform in early 2024. This game-changer empowers producers to directly print blockchain-encrypted QR codes onto their packaging. From production to your table, transparency and traceability reign supreme.

This powerful partnership promises to:

  • Shield consumers from the dangers of adulterated products.
  • Cripple networks profiting from fake goods, boosting the Nigerian economy.
  • Build trust and accountability within the food and drug industry.

However, this fight demands collective action. Consumers, it's time to rise up:

  • Look for Chekkit labels. Scan, dial, verify. It's that simple.
  • Spread the word. Inform your community about this vital initiative.
  • Demand genuine products. Choose brands committed to safety and transparency.

By embracing this partnership and taking these simple steps, Nigerians can reclaim their right to safe and genuine products, paving the way for a healthier and more prosperous future.

Together, we can combat adulteration and build a stronger, safer Nigeria, one scan at a time. Join the movement today!

Remember: Verify 5 products, get N100 airtime! Take control of your health and support a safer Nigeria.
