Nigeria's Standards Organisation launches a digital platform providing searchable access to Nigerian Industrial Standards, certified products and verified manufacturers, with international standards discounted up to 35%. The platform becomes mandatory for Federal Government procurement and aims to formalise MSMEs and eliminate counterfeit goods.
