Swede Control Intertek projects export growth

Swede Control Intertek Ltd., an ISO-certified Pre-Shipment Inspection firm, has projected a positive outlook for Nigeria’s export sector in 2026, highlighting improved compliance, quality assurance, and government reforms as key drivers. The company’s Managing Director, Mr. Folarin Familusi, made this announcement during a virtual interview in Lagos, coinciding with the firm’s recent ISO certification.

Familusi explained that Swede Control Intertek works closely with the Federal Government to ensure the safety and quality of imports, verify duty collection, provide cargo security, and monitor oil and gas exports. He emphasized that the ISO certification allows the firm to operate in line with global standards, enhancing efficiency, boosting customer and investor confidence, strengthening staff morale, reducing errors, and lowering customer complaints.

The firm also plays a critical role in the Nigerian Export Supervision Scheme, ensuring accurate reporting of crude oil exports, which is vital for the government’s revenue efforts under President Bola Tinubu. Familusi noted that the combination of government reforms and the firm’s ISO certification has improved investor confidence and strengthened the maritime and petroleum sectors, positioning them as key drivers of economic growth. He concluded that Swede Control Intertek’s adherence to global best practices would support stronger export performance in 2026 and beyond.
