The
Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), says it has issued certificates of
quality to five companies operating in Kano, Kano State.
They are Alhassan Table Water Ltd., Grand Products
Company Ltd., Rasa Industries Ltd., Solina Food and Beverages Nigeria Ltd., and
Yerima Laboratories.
Engr.
Yahaya Bukar, the State Coordinator of the Kano and Jigawa office of SON, made
this known at the Federal Secretariat in Kano metropolis on Tuesday.
He
said the certificates were for quality and an indication that the companies had
met the required standard.
Bukar
said that attaining quality was not a destination but a moving target to attain
the set standard for companies to enjoy SON’s approval.
According
to him, “if you have our logo, you are free to export your products to other
countries of your choice”.
He
advised owners of products that are still in the market without SON’s approval
to come forward to be certified.
The
SON coordinator said the move would improve the image of the products,
encourage healthy competition, and give customer confidence on the fitness of
the products.
He
urged the companies to conform to quality of the products, “so that SON may not
have any cause to withdraw its certificates.”
