The Federal Government has reiterated its commitment to strengthening standardisation, quality assurance, and metrology as part of its efforts to drive industrial growth, protect consumers, and improve the competitiveness of Nigerian products in global markets.
The government made the commitment during the 2026 World Metrology Day celebration organised by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria in Abuja.
A statement issued by the agency on Thursday said the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, emphasised standardisation and accurate measurement systems as critical tools for economic development, industrial productivity, and consumer confidence.
Represented by the ministry’s Director of the North-West Zonal Office, Labaran Mohammed, the minister said the Federal Government had intensified efforts to tackle substandard products through stronger regulation, improved testing facilities and digitalisation of processes.
She said, “Standardisation and metrology are powerful tools for improving productivity, reducing waste and enhancing the competitiveness of Nigerian products.
