According to Belibi Edza, president of the firearms dealers association, those dealers will set an efficient monitoring system and use commercial and management software in their shops.

They also promised that they would verify the identities and authorizations of those who come to buy from them.

These commitments taken by the dealers follow an information provided by government on April 4, 2018.
