In a bid to ensure government agencies comply\u00a0with standards, the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), has set up mechanism to regulate standards in all government agencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Director General, SON, Joseph Odumodu, stated this during state directors of the organization in Abuja.<\/span><\/p>\n He noted that it was not only in the private sector that standard is enforced, stressing that the whole idea behind SON is to standardise the nation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Odumodu \u00a0said there is a lot of indiscipline going on in the system, adding that without standard there cannot be a stable economy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He vowed to rid every sector of the economy of substandard products by 2012.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSON would ensure that the various government agencies achieve greater capacity utilisation and standardisation in all its ramifications. SON will make its mandate relevant across the globe such that its decisions would tally with international best practice.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat we are trying to do now is to make sure that SON is effective in all the states of the federation. The other point we are emphasising is global relevance, we need to be accredited and link up with all the international standard bodies whatever decision we take in Nigeria will stand anywhere in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
