PREPARED METERS. IF WE CAN PRODUCE IT, WHY IMPORTING IT?
After reading the report of This Day News Paper of 23rd
August 2018, one will be forced to ask the above question.
Africa’s karma has forced us not to be in a hurry for
anything and indeed we are not in a hurry to develop, but the mystery of development
still reside in our collective internal strength. The report had it that Mojec
International Limited with other six Companies can produce Prepared Meters, but
that NERC, recently released MAP policy which stipulate that 70 percent of
prepared meters should be imported, while 30 percent should be manufactured
locally.
Hmmmmm, showing how importation freak we are.
Are we in a hurry now to use prepared meters that we do not
have enough light distribution to empower it?
Can government reason it, that half of dollars that are going
to be use to import it if invested into these Companies the multiplying effect
in our economy will be great combine with the gain in technological advancement
that it will spill over.
I join the Managing Director of Mojec International Limited
to demand that government should forget about importing it. They should invest
all that money to the local industry and supervise them to do that.
I bought a Fero Smartphone late last year, I noticed that the
battery was too poor and could not last up to one hour. On March this year I bought
the same Fero and the battery is very good and my children confirmed that it
has more Applications than the first.
There is always room for improvement for those who are
willing to make progress in life. But let us encourage ourselves in this nation
and stop bewitching ourselves, if these companies progress, it is us that will
be employed there. We learnt that Japan started their technology this way and
improved latter.
Also I thought that
this APC government campaigned for patronage of locally made goods no matter
after taking over we have been seeing the opposite. Let us build our nation for
our own benefit.
