At the just-concluded Nigeria Oil and Gas Opportunity Fair (NOGOF) 2025, Coleman Wires and Cables played an active role in shaping the future of Nigeria’s energy sector. Our Managing Director, George Onafowokan, joined other influential voices at the summit in deep and strategic conversations centered on building sustainable local capacity in the oil, gas, and power industries.
Held under the theme of unlocking investment through indigenous capacity, the event served as a high-level platform for collaboration, foresight, and long-term planning.
Championing Indigenous Capacity
In a focused panel discussion, George Onafowokan emphasized the critical need to invest in and trust local expertise as a driver for real production growth and industrial resilience. As a longstanding advocate for homegrown innovation and self-sufficiency, he outlined how local manufacturers, when supported and integrated, can reduce costs, enhance project timelines, and strengthen Nigeria’s value chain.
“The foundation for sustained industrial growth lies in empowering local players with the tools, trust, and opportunities to deliver,” Onafowokan stated. “At Coleman, we’ve proven that indigenous companies can meet international standards and deliver reliably.”
Coleman’s Role in the Bigger Picture
