Segmax Oil Nigeria Limited, has received the Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme (MANCAP), certificate from the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), marking a significant milestone in its drive for quality assurance and standardisation in the Nigerian lubricant market.
The certificate presentation, which took place at the company’s Ilorin office, highlighted Segmax’s consistent efforts in delivering high-standard lubricating oil products.
Representing the SON Director General, Dr Ifeanyi Okeke at the event, the Kwara State Coordinator of SON, Mr Ayeni Feyisayo, described Segmax’s achievement as a legacy of excellence and commitment.
“What you have done today is not just about certification, it’s about establishing a legacy that will stand the test of time,” Ayeni stated.
“You have created a product that will not fade out of the market. This is a testimony to dedication, teamwork, and quality. We believe this award will motivate you to aim higher.”
Also speaking, Dolapo Motunrayo, Head of the Chemical Technology Unit at SON’s Kwara office, emphasised that the certification was only the beginning of a long-term relationship built on quality control.
“All your products are now certified under MANCAP, but it doesn’t end here. Monitoring will be even more rigorous. This certification is valid until 2028, and we expect continued compliance. We look forward to further engagements through product and test certifications,” she said.
In response, the Chairman of Segmax Oil, Engineer Jesuwumi Mathew, and the Managing Director, Mrs Jesuwumi Florence, expressed appreciation to SON for its guidance and support throughout the certification process.
“We are proud to be recognised for our efforts in maintaining high-quality standards. This certification not only boosts our reputation but also assures our customers of the reliability of our products,” Engr Mathew noted.
