Nigeria and the United Kingdom have committed to enhancing trade relations and driving economic growth through the implementation of Nigeria’s National Quality Policy under the Standards Partnership Programme Phase II.
This was issued in a statement from the British Deputy High Commission in Lagos on Monday.
Launched in June 2024, the SPP – Phase II aims to eliminate technical trade barriers, improve regulatory compliance, and promote export competitiveness between both nations.
The programme is a collaborative effort between the British Standards Institution and Nigeria’s National Quality Council, supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
The initiative focuses on building a robust quality infrastructure to improve standardisation, accreditation, conformity assessment, inspection, testing, and metrology services, all of which are essential to boosting trade capacity, attracting investment, and aligning with global standards.
An event in this initiative was the National Quality Policy Matrix Implementation Training-of-Trainers Workshop, held in Lagos and Abuja last week.
