The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has officially published the comprehensive list of products certified under its Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme (MANCAP) on its official portal to assist consumers in identifying authentic, quality Nigerian-made goods.
​The announcement was made by the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of SON, Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwunonso Okeke, during a press briefing held at 10:00 AM at the agency’s Corporate Headquarters in Wuse Zone 7, Abuja.
​Speaking before industry stakeholders, trade representatives, and members of the press, Dr. Okeke stated that the digital directory allows consumers, retailers, and regulatory bodies to verify certified goods instantly via the portal (mancap.son.gov.ng).
​”By publishing the MANCAP-certified products online, we are putting power directly into the hands of Nigerian consumers. This initiative guarantees that only products meeting minimum safety and quality requirements under the Nigerian Industrial Standards (NIS) are patronised, while creating a hostile environment for manufacturers of counterfeit and substandard goods,” Dr. Okeke stated.
Consumers can query certified products using product identification numbers, batch codes, or manufacturer details directly on the e-MANCAP platform.
The online registry covers certified goods across major categories, including food products, electrical and electronic goods, chemical materials, mechanical components, and construction materials.
Mrs. Talatu Ethan, Director of the National Product Certification Department at SON, highlighted that compliant local manufacturers will gain increased market visibility and protection against unfair competition from uncertified goods.
​The agency reiterated its commitment to continuous post-certification monitoring and warned that any certified manufacturer found compromising quality standards would face immediate withdrawal of their MANCAP certificates and legal prosecution.
Consumers and distributors across the country have been encouraged to utilise the portal to verify goods before purchase.
