House Committee Urges DISCOs To Patronise Local Meters
Chairman, House of
Representatives Committee on Power, Mr Patrick Ikhariale, last Tuesday, urged electricity distribution companies (DISCOs) to patronise locally made pre-paid meters.
Ikhariale made the call when the committee inspected an indigenous pre-paid meter firm, MOJEC International Ltd, in Lagos.
The lawmaker said it was wrong for the management of DISCOs to import pre-paid meters when there were locally made meters.
“I am appealing to the DISCOs to patronise the local manufacturers of prepaid meters if they meet the specifications.
“There is no reason why DISCOs should go outside the shores of the country to get a product that is readily available locally,” he said.
The Chairman, MOJEC International Ltd, Mrs Mojisola Abdul, said the company was set up to promote the Federal Government’s local content policy.
Abdul said that the firm was capable of generating employment for many youths if its products were patronised.
According to her, at full capacity, the firm can employ more than 300 more workers, but currently the firm operates at 10 per cent of its installed capacity with 30 employees.
