Salim, represented by the Director of SON in South-East, Mr Fred Akingbesote, noted that in its standardization and quality assurance drive, SON had put in place policies and initiatives to ensure value is created for the overall sustenance of the consumers and country at large.
“Some of these policies and initiatives are seen in the services SON provides to MSMEs, which includes but is not limited to: Subsidized sale of Standards to MSMEs; subsidized Certification charges; and subsidized laboratory testing charges.
“SONCAP-Import Permit at subsidized service charge to support the importation of raw materials and equipment; inclusion in all Technical Committees on Standards elaboration; and recommendation of MSMEs with certified products for financing,” he said.
He said that MANCAP is a mandatory product certification scheme to ensure that all locally manufactured products in the country conform to the relevant Nigerian Industrial Standard (NIS) before such products are presented for sale in the market or exported.
According to him, following the issuance of MANCAP Certificates to your companies, we will undertake periodic factory inspections, sampling and laboratory testing.
This, he said, was to ensure that the products certified today continue to meet the requirements of the relevant standards that had earned the establishments these certifications.
“The product are to be revalidated every three years, and it is of utmost importance that you note that the certificates issued today shall be withdrawn or suspended if the products fail to meet the minimum requirements.
“I will like to use this forum to call on all manufacturers in the state who are yet to be certified to contact our office and begin the process of getting their certification.
“Some of the benefits of the MANCAP certification include: enhanced business growth and maximization as well as encouraging production of excellent quality products and healthy competition through consistent compliance to relevant standards.
“Encouraging continual improvement on quality of products and production processes by manufacturing industries in the country and promoting global competitiveness among domestic manufacturers among others,” he added.
In an address, the State Coordinator of SON, Mr Francis Onyeji, noted that the MANCAP certificate stipulates that “your products having been subjected to conformity assessment and testing processes fulfilled all the requirements of their respective relevant standards, and therefore certified”.
Onyeji commended the effort of the awardees, adding that the benefits of being a MANCAP licencee cannot be over-emphasized as the general public are confident that any product with the MANCAP logo is of “high quality”.
Speaking, Mrs Blessing Okeke, Project Officer of Bank of Industry (BOI), lauded SON for its commitment to quality in the country, while calling on manufacturers to partner BOI to expand their businesses, increase productivity and employment within the country.
One of the awardees, Mr Kingsley Atuh, representing Savanah Standard Roofing Ltd, thanked SON for educating and following-up the manufacturing process of the product of the company he represents to attain international standard and making it exportable.
The 14 companies and the products that they got certified on included: Ecaison Ventures Nigeria Ltd manufacturers of Ecaison Table Water; Star Roof Ventures Ltd manufacturers of Star Roofing Sheet; Obika Industries Limited manufacturers of Bejoy Table Water.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
