MOJEC International has reiterated its commitment to transform the electricity sector of Nigeria.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of MOJEC International, Ms. Chantelle Abdul, said this while receiving a delegation from the Lagos State Ministry of Energy and Mineral
The courtesy visit was led by Lagos Commissioner of Energy and Mineral, Olalere Odusote.
Speaking during the visit, Abdul said MOJEC aims to solve issues around metering since its inceproblem
She said, “Lagos State stands as the state that contributes the most to the national GDP, and as such any solutions to a nationwide problem should be coming out of Lagos. I couldn’t be happier that you have owned and pioneered providing solutions to the challenges affecting the metering segment of the energy sector.
“I am excited the Government is having discussions with us to bridge the metering gap through local manufacturers as opposed to completely relying on importation. Importing meters into the country will not close the gap as fast as everyone thinks and this is because procurement is not the issue but the manpower and other factors that go into getting these meters on the walls of the end-users.
Therefore, in our engagement with the Government, we continue to let them know that manufacturers are available in the country and we are able to produce these meters to the quantum of the immediate need of the country
Odusote congratulated the organisation on its strides and the accolades it has been receiving.
He said, “What I have seen here is interesting, it is very impressive for us. We like the fact that there is a local company that is looking at helping us to solve our local problems rather than trying to import our way out of the problem.”
