As Nigeria continues to pursue more affordable and cleaner energy, the quality of the equipment and systems supporting this transition deserves greater attention. Access to energy is important, but so is ensuring that the solutions deployed are safe, reliable and capable of delivering the performance expected of them.

This was the message highlighted by JMG Limited, a provider of integrated electromechanical solutions, through its participation in the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) 2026 World Standards Day Walk in Lagos on Saturday, October 17.

Members of JMG’s Production Team joined the walk to support efforts to promote quality standards and highlight their importance in advancing Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7), which seeks to ensure access to affordable, reliable and modern energy for all.

Held under the theme “Shared Vision for a Better World: Spotlight on SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy,” the walk commenced at 7:30 a.m. at the SON Laboratory Complex in Ogba, bringing attention to the role of standards in product safety, performance, consumer protection and industrial development.

For JMG, the conversation goes beyond energy access to the quality and dependability of the solutions that power homes, businesses and industrial operations. From solar energy systems and power generation equipment to electrical infrastructure and cooling solutions, the performance of these systems depends, in part, on sound engineering, appropriate installation and consistent quality practices.

Fouad El Chami, Plant Manager, JMG/Jamara, emphasised that quality standards must remain central to how products are manufactured and delivered.

“Standards are not just requirements to be met; they help ensure that products are safe, dependable and fit for purpose. Quality must be considered from the beginning of the production process because it influences how a product performs and how confidently people can rely on it,” he said.

He noted that as Nigeria explores opportunities to expand access to cleaner energy, attention to quality will be essential to ensuring that investments in energy solutions deliver lasting value.

“Affordable energy is important, but affordability must also be considered alongside reliability, safety and performance. The equipment and systems supporting Nigeria’s energy needs must be suitable for their intended use and meet the appropriate quality requirements. This is why standards and responsible production practices matter,” El Chami added.

JMG Limited provides a range of electromechanical solutions spanning power generation, electrical infrastructure, cooling systems, elevators and escalators, and air compressors. Across these areas, the company recognises the importance of dependable equipment and sound quality practices in meeting the needs of businesses and other users.

Its participation in the World Standards Day Walk reflects support for SON’s efforts to promote a stronger quality culture across Nigerian industry. It also reinforces the broader need for manufacturers, solution providers and other stakeholders to recognise quality standards as an important part of building consumer confidence and supporting sustainable development.

As Nigeria advances its clean energy ambitions, the challenge is not simply to expand access, but to ensure that the solutions supporting that progress are reliable, safe and built to serve their intended purpose. Strong quality standards provide an important foundation for achieving that goal.
