Mudiame International Limited has announced plans to deepen Nigeria’s participation in globally recognised certification systems as it launches a campaign in partnership with Germany-based Exzellenz Bewertungs Systeme (EBS).
The event, scheduled to hold later this month, marks EBS’s formal entry into Nigeria and Africa through Mudiame International, positioning the company as the continent’s official representative for the international standards and certification body.
At the virtual event, participants will engage with global experts and assessors from Germany and the United States to discuss the importance and benefits of internationally recognised certification frameworks that underpin competitiveness, efficiency, and trust in both the public and private sectors.
The campaign will focus on five major international standards — ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14000 (Environmental Management), ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management), ISO 27000 (Information Security Management), and ISO 45000 (Occupational Health and Safety).
Speaking ahead of the event, the Chief Executive Officer of Mudiame International Limited, Prof. Sunny Eromosele, said the launch represents a major step in closing Nigeria’s certification gap and strengthening the culture of quality management across industries.
Eromosele noted that many Nigerian products and services struggle to compete globally due to the absence of coordinated management systems and poor adherence to international best practices.
“Our products are often rejected in foreign markets because they lack the necessary certification. From food exports to environmental management, there is no unified system to ensure global standards. This initiative seeks to change that,” he said.
Eromosele explained that strong management systems are key to sustainable development, improved environmental performance, and enhanced public health and safety.
“If we can institutionalise these systems across government agencies, private firms, and local communities, it will help reduce corruption, improve operational efficiency, and create new jobs,” he added.
According to him, EBS certification would not only enhance Nigeria’s global competitiveness but also encourage local industries to meet international benchmarks.
Eromosele cited examples from the oil and gas sector, where Nigeria has built local competence through adherence to global quality standards, allowing domestic firms to compete with international contractors.
“Just like the oil and gas industry has grown through standardisation, we want to see the same transformation across other sectors — food, manufacturing, construction, and even public institutions,” he said.
He added that adopting these systems would enable Nigeria to attract more foreign investment and tourism, as seen in countries like Rwanda, where environmental cleanliness and compliance have become drivers of national image and economic growth.
The company emphasised that the partnership with EBS would make certification more affordable and accessible, helping Nigerian organisations align with the global pursuit of excellence and sustainability.
“This campaign is not just about compliance; it’s about creating a culture of quality, safety, and accountability. Our goal is to empower Nigerian institutions and industries to compete confidently on the world stage,” the company stated.
