Nigerite Ltd Bags Award

Nigerite Limited, a complete building components solutions company and manufacturer of fibre-cement roofing (Litespan, Soloxtra) and ceiling sheets (KalsiCeil), compressed sandcrete roofing tiles (Crowntile French and Crowntile Mission), Kalsi building boards and other brands has emerged winner of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria’s (MAN) award for being the cleanest manufacturing company in Lagos State.

The award for the cleanest business environment in Lagos was organised by the Manufacturers Association Of Nigeria,(MAN) Ikeja branch among its manufacturing member companies, as part of its 49thAnnual General Meeting held recently in Lagos.

While congratulating Nigerite, the Executive Secretary, MAN, Ikeja Branch, Mr. Joseph Emoleke explained that the award was initiated to encourage manufacturers to employ safe and clean practices in the course of production in line with global best practices. According to him, the measure is part of MAN’s contributions towards environmental protection, a move he disclosed that the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has keyed into.

“Each time we go on inspection, we go with officials of LASEPA, Federal Ministry of Environment and other regulatory bodies to ensure compliance. Based on the outcome of the awards, LASEPA has expressed commitments towards rewarding Nigerite and two other companies by relieving them of some levies. I believe this will encourage other members”, he added.
