The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria has extolled the Standards Organisation of Nigeria’s quest to promote made-in-Nigeria products in the African Continental Free Trade Agreement through calibration.
In his words: “One thing all over the world that has been acknowledged is that what we cannot measure, we cannot value. So, for us, today marks a milestone in our quality infrastructure programme in Nigeria. SON is blazing the trail in ensuring that not only our big companies that are located in centres that we can access, but where vehicles can move to remote areas in Nigeria to deliver the measurement service.
“As we are all aware, the plague caused by substandard products to our nation cannot be over-emphasised as seen in declining foreign exchange, surging unemployment and insecurity. In addition, of course, the closing of factories.” Salim, at the inauguration of mobile calibrate vehicles and measurement equipment in Lagos, said under his leadership, the standards body would be expanding its services through mobile laboratory facilities, explaining that imbibing the culture of regular calibration of equipment, operators in the industry would get it right, lives would be saved while economic development is assured.
Took me a minute to realise what the headline was actually saying. 🤣
