This week, our MD/CEO, George Onafowokan, represented Coleman Wires and Cables at the Nigerian Content Development & Monitoring Board (NCDMB) Local Content AFCFTA Energy Summit. The event, themed “Unlocking Africa’s Energy Future through AFCFTA: Trade, Innovation and Regional Integration,” brought together industry leaders to chart a stronger, more connected energy landscape for the continent.
Speaking on the panel “Aligning Africa’s Energy Trade Corridors,” our MD highlighted a powerful truth: Nigerian manufacturing quality can compete confidently on the global stage. His message underscored the importance of brand pride and local capacity in shaping Africa’s energy future. At Coleman, we believe that “Made in Nigeria” is not just a label it is a standard capable of powering progress across Africa.
With the capacity to serve up to 50% of Africa’s cable needs, Coleman Wires and Cables continues to advocate for a borderless, energized continent. For the AFCFTA vision to fully materialize, fiscal and logistical barriers that limit indigenous growth must be addressed, enabling smoother trade corridors and stronger regional integration.
We remain committed to driving conversations and actions that position African industry at the forefront of the continent’s energy transformation.
