The Management of Jos Electricity Distribution Plc has contracted NOCACO, an indigenous cable manufacturing company, to produce cables that will be used on its networks to ensure a qualitative electricity supply to customers in its franchise areas.
The business agreement was sealed last Monday at the Corporate Headquarters when the management of the cable manufacturing company visited the electricity outfit.
Speaking during the visit of NOCACO management to the Corporate Headquarters of JED in Jos, Plateau State, the Managing Director of the latter, Engr. Abdu Bello Mohammed stated that the management team decided to engage NOCACO, a local firm based in Kaduna, to prevent cases of lower-quality cables prevalent in the market at the moment.
He said that research conducted by the company revealed that, in most cases, the low-quality supply of electricity to customer premises was occasioned by the poor quality of cables.
Engr. Mohammed disclosed that NOCACO would produce customised cables with JEDC inscribed on them in the company’s unique colours for security purposes.
He said as soon as Jos Electricity Distribution Plc takes possession of the customised cables, no customer will be allowed to use any other type of cable on its networks or connect to their premises henceforth.
According to him, “To avoid substandard cables, specifications will be given to the cable company that has a good reputation for producing quality cables in the country,” adding, “We will showcase the cables to our customers, and that will be the only acceptable standard required in our networks.”
The Managing Director therefore disclosed that Jos Electricity Distribution Plc intends to replace all antiquated cables to eliminate the technical losses that are currently bedevilling the company.
In his remarks, the Chairman of NOCACO, Jamilu Zakari Muhammad, who showcased work done by them for other Electricity Distribution Companies, promised to meet the specified standards on schedule.
He commended the management of Jos Electricity Distribution Plc for the initiative, which he said would greatly enhance a stable and quality electricity supply.
