Chief Imam Sets Up Nat’l Halal Certification Committee

The Office of the National Chief Imam(ONCI) has set up a National Halal Certification Committee (NHCC) with a board and secretariat.

In the past 12years, His Eminence the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu himself signed the Halal certificates for companies wanting Halal certificates but the ONCI thought it wise and necessary, for sustainability purposes, to set up a secretariat for the inspection and issuance of Halal certificates.

The committee will be publishing, next year January, list of companies that registered.

The registration process is simple and goes this way:

1. Registration form is available online at http://www.ipasecgh.org and completed form must be received by (NHCC) via email or What’s up

2. NHCC and the company agree on suitable date for NHCC staff to inspect the company processes and handling of meat products or beverages

3. The company receives feedback on whether NHCC will  Issue or refuse Halal certificates within 24hrs of inspection

4. Payment of registration fee and receipt

5. Issuance of Halal certificates, logos and stickers

NOTE:

Inspectors must be given transportation fee at the business premises instantly at the end of inspection.

All the processes are usually done within 5 working days
