The Federal Government of Nigeria has accredited the Institute for Enterprise Management and Analytics (IEMA) as a Conformity Assessment Body (CAB).
The accreditation issued by the Nigerian National Accreditation Service (NINAS), now authorises the institute to award ISO Certification to organisations that have met the conformity requirement for certification.
Director-General of IEMA, Raymond Smith, indicated that several companies in Nigeria, even though they have very good operating processes, are not able to do business with international organisations due to standard compliance challenges.
He claimed that IEMA is authorized by the Federal Government and in a position to support and certify Nigerian businesses that have satisfied the stringent certification requirements.
He emphasized that an organization needs to get an ISO certification because that is the need for doing business well in Nigeria nowadays.
In agreement with Smith, Prof. Ademola Ojo, Chairman of the Governing Council of the IEMA, urged Nigerian businesses to embrace standard certification and utilize IEMA accreditation to certify their processes and compete successfully both inside and outside of Nigeria.
He claims that IEMA is one of the three organizations licensed by the Nigerian National Accreditation Service and accredited by the Federal Government (NINAS).
