 Burt Reynolds told Sandy Duncan he 'wanted to kill' her at height of 'Barney' fame, she says Sandy Duncan, whose career spans seven decades with Emmy, Tony, and Golden Globe nominations, is still remembered by many for her brief role in Barney & the Backyard Gang.  In 1988, during a Hollywood writers’ strike, Duncan accepted the part of “Mom” in the direct‑to‑video children’s series about a purple dinosaur.  Though she had already built a reputation in family entertainment with Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and voice work for Scooby‑Doo and The Fox and the Hound, she admitted later that she was surprised by the project’s simplicity and returned to her regular work after filming three episodes. The success of the videos led to PBS picking up Barney & Friends, and producers asked Duncan to reprise her role.  She recalled being pitched on the franchise’s future, including plush toys and merchandising, but declined the offer a decision she later regretted.  Despite...

 LSMTL SIGNS LABORATORY QUALITY POLICY STATEMENT


… Commits Agency To ISO 17025:2017 Accreditation


In a landmark move towards International recognition, the General Manager of the Lagos State Materials Testing Laboratory Agency (LSMTL), Engr. Olayinka Abdul has officially signed the Agency's Laboratory Quality Policy Statement, reinforcing its commitment to achieving ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accreditation. 


The signing ceremony, held on Thursday at Ojodu-Berger and attended by all personnel of the Agency, marked a pivotal moment in its accreditation journey. 


In her remarks, Engr. Olayinka Abdul emphasised the transformative potential of the accreditation drive, noting that Stakeholders and Members of the Public have continued to commend the Agency's operations. 


She revealed that feedback from Clients and Industry Partners indicates that the Agency's activities are impressive and at par with International best practices in Materials Testing.


Following the Policy signing, every Personnel of the Agency appended their signature to the Code of Conduct, signalling a unified dedication to Ethical Practice and Operational Excellence. 


The Laboratory Quality Policy Statement, signed by Engr. Abdul outlines the Agency's Comprehensive Framework for achieving and sustaining Global standards, structured across several critical stages, beginning with a commitment to impartiality and integrity. 


The Policy declares that all Testing and Calibration activities shall be conducted free from Commercial, Financial, or other Pressures that could compromise Technical Judgment, thereby establishing the ethical foundation upon which all Laboratory Operations rest and ensuring that results remain Objective and Trustworthy.


Furthermore, it reinforces the policy that commits the Agency to operate in full conformity with the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard representing the technical backbone of the Quality System, which requires all Management and Technical requirements, from Method Validation to Equipment Calibration, meet internationally accepted benchmarks. 


While explaining the importance of the approach, the General Manager averred that the Policy emphasises the Agency's responsibility to meet and exceed Customer Expectations, thus, mandating that all Personnel prioritise Clients’ requirements, even as they strictly maintain confidentiality to ensure test results delivered to Government and Private Sector clients, are both timely and reliable. 


“A critical aspect of the policy addresses Human Capital Development, Committing the Agency to ensuring that all Staff members possess the necessary skills, training, and awareness to perform their duties competently. This stage aligns with the recent signing of the Code of Conduct, reinforcing that every individual's contribution is vital to the quality chain”, she informed 


Engr. Abdul reiterated that the process is targeted at a culture of Perpetual Enhancement, requiring Regular Internal Audits, Management Reviews, and Corrective Actions to identify opportunities for improvement, ensuring the Quality Management System remains dynamic and responsive to emerging challenges. 


She expressed profound gratitude to the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, for his visionary leadership and unwavering support for the Agency's modernization Agenda saying "His Excellency has provided the enabling Environment for us to aspire to global standards”. 


According to the Director, Laboratory Services Department, Engr. Wale Akinsanya, who provided insights into the Technical Groundwork supporting the Policy Implementation, revealed that various teams have been strategically formed toward the Accreditation process, with each Department playing a distinct role in achieving the common goal. 


"The Accreditation team has been mandated to audit all procedures rigorously. We are ensuring that every process, from Sample Collection to Results Reporting, aligns with ISO 17025:2017 requirements. This internal auditing will make the assessment by the visiting team seamless and successful.", Engr. Akinsanya explained. 


He added that the policy commits the Agency to full compliance with all applicable Laws, Regulations, and Statutory Provisions governing Materials Testing in Lagos State in affirming the Agency's role as a responsible Public Institution accountable to both Government and the Citizenry.  


Akinsanya further enjoined all staff to embrace Team Spirit, emphasising that accreditation is not the responsibility of a select few, but a collective endeavour requiring collaboration across all units. 


With the Quality Policy now formally adopted and the Code of Conduct universally signed, the Agency will proceed with implementation across all Laboratory Operations, just as the coming months will see intensified Internal Audits, Method Validation Exercises, and Staff Training sessions in preparation for the external assessment by accreditation bodies. 


The highlight of this approach is that achieving ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accreditation, will position LSMTL as a globally recognised Centre for Materials Testing, enhancing Confidence in Lagos State's Infrastructure Projects and opening opportunities for international collaboration.
