The Retreat is aimed at repositioning SON for greater
effectiveness and efficiency. SON has responsibilities for setting and
enforcing standards for industrial goods in Nigeria.
Former DG/ CEO of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and
Safety Agency (NIMASA), Leadership Coach and Nigeria’s foremost public
Turnaround leader, Dr Dakuku Peterside will deliver the keynote speech at the
Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) Retreat taking place February 9-12 in
Calabar.
The DG/CEO of SON, Farouk Salim, said that “the organisation
is honoured to have Dr Peterside join SON on this agenda-setting four-day
retreat.” “We look forward to hearing Dakuku Peterside’s story of how he took
NIMASA from an underperforming regulatory agency to a world class institution.
We will have the privilege to learn of the philosophy that inspired him and the
methods that gave him and his team exceptional results,” he said.
Dr Peterside will be speaking on the theme of the retreat
“SON: Growing an effective and efficient Regulatory organisation”.
This SON strategy retreat is the first major outing in a
series of agenda-setting programmes to reposition the agency and set her on the
path of becoming the foremost standards organisation in Africa. Under the new
leadership, the DG is determined to make SON a role model and safeguard
Nigerians from the risk of substandard products whether manufactured in the
country or imported into the country. SON plans to ramp up enforcement of
standards in the next few weeks and make Nigeria hostile for producers of
substandard products.
Dr Dakuku Peterside, author of the book, ‘Strategic
Turnaround’, will be joined by other great organisational development experts
at the retreat, which is facilitated by SAMUELSON B. V. Professional Services,
a leading Consulting firm in the country.
Other Resource Persons will include Tony Epelle, Managing Consultant
& CEO of SAMUELSON; Dr Eric Ighalo, a renowned Trainer & Facilitator;
Dr Joseph Odumodu, a former DG of SON; Barr Osuagwu Sunny Uwanakwa, Chairman of
SON Review Committee set up by the Salim-led administration; and Elijah Affi,
Managing Director, Take-Out Media.
The retreat will deal with issues like goal setting, art
& science of execution for regulatory agencies, key performance indicators
and stakeholder management, among other issues.
