Presenting the certificate to the beneficiaries, the SON boss noted that the MANCAP certificates are being presented to show to the world that their products met the required standards.

Speaking on behalf of other beneficiaries, the Executive Director of Transtell Ventures Nigeria Limited, Mr. Ikechukwu Igbozuluike assured SON that their companies would adhere to all the guidelines.

He also promised the people of Anambra and Nigerians who are consumers of quality products,that they will always meet their demands by putting them first.
