Nigeria’s pursuit of excellence and global competitiveness is set to take center stage once again as industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers prepare for the 2025 National Quality Conference & Awards, scheduled to hold on October 31 at the NECA House Auditorium, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
Themed “Champions of Quality: Shaping Nigeria’s Future,” this year’s edition underscores the critical role of quality assurance and standards in driving sustainable growth across Nigeria’s industrial and service sectors.
Organised by Allied Integrated Promotion in collaboration with African Trade Magazine, the Chartered Quality Institute (CQI), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the event seeks to reposition Nigeria’s quality ecosystem as a model of innovation, resilience, and global best practice.
Redefining Nigeria’s Quality Culture
Now in its latest edition, the National Quality Conference & Awards (NQC) has evolved into a key platform for strengthening Nigeria’s national quality infrastructure. It brings together business leaders, policymakers, and quality management experts to explore strategies that enhance productivity and brand reputation, both locally and internationally.
In a statement announcing the event, organisers described NQC as “a convergence of visionaries dedicated to celebrating and institutionalising Nigeria’s quality culture — sending a powerful message to the world that Nigerian brands can compete globally through excellence and innovation.”
Empowering Businesses Through Standards
Every year, the NQC develops new frameworks designed to inspire organisations to adopt stronger quality control measures and sustainable practices. Through keynote addresses, technical workshops, and strategic networking sessions, participants gain insights into global quality trends and tools that enhance performance.
Beyond recognition, the conference serves as an incubator for collaboration among businesses, regulators, and international bodies — ensuring that quality becomes not just a policy goal but a shared corporate mindset.
Honoring Champions of Excellence
The awards segment of the event celebrates outstanding Nigerian organisations that have demonstrated exceptional leadership in standards, productivity, and innovation. The recognition, organisers say, serves as a benchmark for others, reinforcing the link between quality culture and national development.
As part of the programme, the event will also mark Nigeria’s National Quality Day, a platform dedicated to promoting awareness and rewarding excellence across various industries.
Building Nigeria’s Future on Quality
By aligning with global institutions such as CQI and ISO, the NQC continues to position Nigeria as an emerging leader in quality management across Africa. The conference not only elevates local brands to international visibility but also supports the federal government’s broader agenda of industrial diversification and competitiveness.
As the 2025 edition draws near, expectations are high that the forum will produce actionable frameworks, strengthen corporate leadership in quality governance, and reaffirm Nigeria’s commitment to building a future anchored on excellence, integrity, and innovation.
