The Federal Government has urged the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to remain steadfast in promoting quality and excellence in service delivery.
Permanent Secretary (PS), Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Nura Rimi, said this in a keynote address at the 2024 leadership retreat for management staff of SON in Uyo yesterday.
Represented by Dr Anietie Umoessien, the Director, Industrial Inspectorate Department, Rimi urged the participants to always drive for excellence in service delivery.
She said SON has a mandate to play a critical role in protecting the interests of consumers by insisting on safety, excellence and quality.
The PS said the theme for the retreat was significant to the organisation’s journey towards advancing the standardisation of products in the country. Rimi further said that the theme reflected the Federal Government’s commitment towards realising President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“As we converge under this guiding theme, we are reminded of the organisation’s critical role in protecting the interests of consumers and promoting industrial growth.”
