Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has reiterated its readiness to withdraw the Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme (MANCAP) certificate of any manufacturer who produces sub-standard products in the State.
Director General and Chief Executive Officer of SON, Mallam Farouk Sallim represented by the Anambra State Coordinator of the organisation, Engineer Onipede Adeoye, gave the warning while presenting MANCAP certificates to over thirteen companies in Awka recently.
According to Mallam Sallim, SON is intensifying the fight against local manufacturers in the habit of cutting corners on the quality of their products, warning manufacturing companies with MANCAP certificates not to compromise the standard of their products, but rather improve on their quality.
Presenting the certificate to the beneficiaries, the SON boss noted that the MANCAP certificates are being presented to show to the world that their products met the required standards.
Speaking on behalf of other beneficiaries, the Executive Director of Transtell Ventures Nigeria Limited, Mr. Ikechukwu Igbozuluike assured SON that their companies would adhere to all the guidelines.
He also promised the people of Anambra and Nigerians who are consumers of quality products,that they will always meet their demands by putting them first.
