Following the enactment, cable manufacturers in the country are gradually assuming active roles in the manufacturing and supplying of cables used in the industry. However, International Oil Companies (IOCs) and other firms operating in the country's oil and gas industry generally insist on the type testing of the cables before purchase.
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) have recently included type testing of cables as part of their product offerings to the cable industry in Nigeria. Mrs. Adubi thinks partnering with BASEC and other global third-party testing companies will greatly benefit the cable manufacturers in Nigeria. The potential for SON collaboration with these companies will be a welcome development to the industry.
COO emphases need for quality testing
Noting the importance of type testing of cables, Adubi said that third-party type testing of locally produced cables would make Nigerian cables appealing and ready for export internationally. This move will, in turn, provide the much-required foreign exchange earnings for the economy.
MicCom Cables and Wires Limited is a manufacturer of all kinds of cables and wiresI in Nigeria.
