Aganga said President Goodluck Jonathan approved the renewal of Odumodu’s appointment for another term as part of efforts to sustain initiatives that would further address standardisation issues in the country.

In a letter to Odumodu, Aganga said: “your reappointment is in recognition of the numerous initiatives you have put in place to support the competitiveness of Nigerian products and services in the global market.

“It is also due to the reforms you have commenced with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment to develop national standards and quality infrastructure that will support the Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP) of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

“I am, therefore, confident that you will diligently apply yourself to justify the confidence of Mr President.’’
