This was announced in a statement by Folashade Ambrose-Medebem, Lafarge’s director of communications, public affairs and sustainable development, on Wednesday.
MANCAP certification is to ensure that all locally manufactured products in the country conform to the relevant Nigerian industrial standards (NIS) before such products are presented for sale in the market or exported.
Lafarge said a major benefit of the SON certificates is hitch-free exportations to other countries, mostly in Africa.
