Standard Organization of Nigeria to partner Medium and Small Enterprises on job creation

   The Standards Organisation of Nigeria, SON,  is to partner the Medium and Small Enterprises ,MSMEs, in a bid to make it a platform in the Federal Government’s job creation initiative.

Director General, Osita Aboloma, made this submission during an interactive session with Freight Forwarders and Clearing Agents in Kano .
   He stated that SON  invested in building the capacity of the MSMEs, improving their quality control mechanisms and raising the quality profile of their products for improved competitiveness locally as well as for export.
   Aboloma condemned any practice that promotes job creation for foreign manufacturers at the expense of local industries, stressing that preference for foreign goods meant boosting the economy of other countries while Nigerian firms are shutting down.
   He explained that Nigeria’s immense potential in human and material resources can be greatly optimized through deployment of standardization procedures to ensure effective quality assurance of all locally manufactured products.
