The Standard Organisation of Nigeria has assured Niger State residents of quality products that would meet international standards.
The organisation made this known during the commissioning of its state headquarters office in Minna, where it noted that manufacturers, traders farmers and consumers would no longer worry about the quality of products that are sold in their markets.
Niger State governor, Mohammed Bago, who commissioned the edifice expressed delight at the project, stating, “This is not just a building, but a symbol of national progress and a testament to our commitment to quality and standards.
“What we are witnessing today is the birth of new possibilities — for better service delivery, stronger consumer protection, and renewed confidence in the quality of products made in Niger State and across Nigeria.
“This project speaks volumes about SON’s dedication to promoting standards and ensuring that Nigerian goods and services meet global expectations.
“It is also a clear demonstration of the federal government’s commitment to strengthening institutions that play a vital role in our nation’s socioeconomic transformation,” Bago said.
The governor noted that the project aligns with his New Niger Angenda, a vision driven by innovation, productivity, and accountability.
“As we continue to industrialise our state, particularly through our focus on agro-processing, renewable energy, and small-scale manufacturing, the role of SON becomes imperative to achieve our set objectives,” he said.
In her opening remarks, Niger State coordinator of SON Hauwa Yusuf said the commissioning represented efficiency and quality, which she said would be closer to Niger State residents.
“This is not just the opening of a new office building. It is the beginning of a new, stronger commitment to quality service and national development. This new facility represents growth, accessibility and efficiency. With it, we are bringing SON’S services closer to our people, our manufacturers, traders, farmers, and consumers,” Yusuf said.
In his remarks, the director General of SON Ifeanyi Okeke said the project would ensure quality and safety for the consumers, just as it aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Today’s event marks another milestone in our
. collective efforts to strengthen Nigerian quality infrastructure and also promote a culture of excellence in production, trade, and service delivery.
“This project represents the federal government’s commitment to supporting SON’S mission of safeguarding lives and ensuring that only quality and safe products are available in the Nigerian market,” Okeke said.
