Standard Organisation of Nigeria SON12

In a quest to build on the foundation laid by past managements, the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) is aiming at repositioning the organisation for greater effectiveness and efficiency in delivery of its mandate of setting and enforcing standards for goods, processes and systems in Nigeria.

SON, at a 4-day Leadership Strategy Retreat in Calabar, Cross Rivers State, is expected to chart path for repositioning and efficiency. A statement from the office of the Director General, Mallam Farouk Salim, posited that the retreat was the first major outing in a series of agendasetting programmes, which are part of measures to set the organisation’s targets for 2021 and beyond, as well as putting her on the path of becoming the foremost standards institution in Africa.

Salim, according to the statement, is determined to make SON a role model in safeguarding Nigerians from the menace of imported and locally made substandard products by ramping up enforcement of standards nationwide and make Nigeria hostile for producers and distributors of substandard products. The four-day retreat will deal with issues like goal setting, art and science of execution for regulatory agencies, key performance indicators and stakeholder management, among other issues.

Dr. Dakuku Peterside, a former Director General/Chef Executive of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), will deliver the keynote speech at the retreat while other facilitators include Mr. Tony Epelle, Managing Consultant of SAMUELSON, Dr. Eric Ighalo, a renowned trainer/facilitator and Dr. Joseph Odumodu, a former director-general of SON.
