The State Coordinator, Niger State Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Adamu Ahmed Saleh, has issued MANCAP certification to seven companies in Suleja, Niger State.
The state Coordinator said the organisation presented MANCAP certificates to these companies as they met the requirements before putting their products in the market.
Saleh added that the issuance of this certificate promotes global competitiveness among domestic manufacturers. It also benefits the most when there is a healthy competition, it promotes industrial and economic development to ensuring made in Nigeria products meet the requirements of relevant industrial standard.
He said: “Consistent compliance with the products they are buying gets value for money for safe use. All products eligible for Nigeria market has to be certified. SON has the mandate to continually educate the government on the issue of standardisation.”
He lamented that most people build houses using substandard products which is not supposed to be. To also avoid building collapse, builders are supposed to approach SON to ensure quality materials are used, but they don’t do that, and it is completely wrong.
The categories of companies issued certification are food companies, like producers of table water, rice, potatoes chips, and foam mattress manufacturing companies. We work round the clock in Niger State to ensure products put out in the market carry MANCAP certification logo.
