Dangote Cement’s strict adherence to internationally accepted quality standard paid off on Thursday, when the Standards, Organisation of Nigeria (SON) presented three awards on quality production to its plants in Obajana, Apapa and Gboko.
Director-General of SON, Dr John Ndanusa Akanya lauded the management of Dangote Cement for taking quality seriously, noting that the company has made the country so very proud with the high quality of its cement production.
According to him: “By this achievement, Dangote Cement has thus joined the lofty class of occupational health and Safety/quality management system certified companies in Nigeria. This is a giant stride in your pursuit of continual improvement in customer service provision and it is worthy of commendation.”
For a business to maintain relevance at both national and international markets, Akanya said good quality is the key and that Dangote Cement has started on a good note by emphasizing on quality production.
He said, “the NIS BS OHSAS 18001: 2007/NIS ISO 9001:2008 Occupational Health and Safety/Quality Management System approach provides a readily acceptable solution to the problems associated with safety and quality. The surest way of maintaining relevance, remaining competitive and gaining more market share in the global market is through provision of quality products and services in a safe and conducive work environment, thus making the NIS BS OHSAS 18001: 2007/NIS ISO 9001:2008 standards key for competition in the global market and for achieving successful business results”
Pressident of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, expressed appreciation to the management of Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) for their full involvement in the project.
