The Electric Cable as a Product in Nigeria

PRODUCT UNDER REVIEW: The electric cable in Nigeria.

SITUATION REPORT: The electric cable market in Nigeria is big, steady, growing and lucrative. It will continue to grow as long as human population grows because everybody needs electricity, and there is no electricity without the necessary cabling for distribution, not until somebody invents wireless electricity in commercial quantity. Sounds funny but it can happen any day.

BRANDS: There are made-in-Nigeria cables as well as imported cables of all types, ratings and colours, from industrial type heavy duty armoured cables to household flex wires.

QUALITY: The construction industry and the general Nigerian public complain of inferior quality cables that have caused a lot of electric fires in the country, and most of these cables are the substandard.ones imported from abroad. There are also imported ones that are good. It depends on the country from where they come.

I can confirm that electric cables made in Nigeria are genuine and of high quality, in fact, they are ISO 9000 certified. I will review the cable brands individually in subsequent posts here.

PRICING: The prices range from =N=400 per meter to thousands of Naira per meter. Have a look.

RECOMMENDATIONS The recommendation in respect of cables is, use Nigerian-made cables because experience has shown that they are much better than the imported ones; or import quality ones from NPR certified manufacturers.

Click on our video below and see the experts confirm what we are telling you. One important thing to learn from this video is that you should make sure the cable or wire you buy is made of copper and not iron, to avoid electrical fires. Same thing goes in the case of generators. Avoid generators that come with aluminium coil and Do not buy a generator that does not come with a copper coil..
