 The Standard Organization of Nigeria, SOLN, says the current economic hardship in the country will not make Nigerians compromise quality and standard of products. Director-General of the agency, Farooq Salim, disclosed this on a one-day General Stakeholder Sensitization Forum in Ellore, in the Quaristate capital, represented by the director-in-charge of North-Central operations of the agency, Saleh Babaji, the DG of SOLN. Farooq Salim said both manufacturers and consumers have a role to play in flushing out standard products in the country, which is informing this General Stakeholder Sensitization Forum. It's your health, your safety first before any other consideration. And that is just where we stand for. That's why, just as I said in DG speech, we sensitize people, not only the industrialists, but even the consumers are here in this our sensitization. Basically, in Nigeria, we have almost like 62% small-medium-scale enterprises. And for Nigerians to do well, for the economy of this country to do much more better, it's important that we focus or prioritize those issues. And so we are here to prioritize the local content, to put more attention on the small-medium so that it can survive and it can be able to produce more extensively or more excellently. In the area of orientation and reorientation, they actually come around to standardize what we do. They review the processes. We are coming to this point, we are learning a lot of things. That sometimes we thought that what we are doing outside is right. But since we are coming to this point, we found that a lot of things are wrong. The agency also maintained that talks are ongoing with the federal government to revert its earlier decision to have the presence of SON officials at the nation's port for necessary standards enforcement. The federal government is about to reverse the decision of SON not to be at the port. We are still at the process. But by God's grace, with the coming of this new government, maybe they will facilitate this order. It will be easier for us to be at the port.
