Recently the price of cables in nigeria over shoot-up in the market. According to the manufacturers, they said the increase in price was due to dollar to naira value. Not everybody can afford this price and many people want to do their electrical installations of their various projects.

This week Nigerchin cable gave us another price list again with 7.5% increase from the original price. This would be the 4th times Nigerchin cable will increase their price this year.

Now the Questions: why increase in price again when there is stability in the dollar to naira value?
Can't government regulate the price of cables?
Is there any regulatory body assigned to the company producing cables in Nigeria?
Are they importing raw materials to Nigeria?

Not everybody can afford the recent of market price of cables.

The worst part of it now is that there a lot of fake cables in the market which our brothers import to the country and they are not pure copper. Its also labelled Nigerchin. They sell it cheaper and many people don't know. The cable is a mixture of alloy and aluminium.

Recently, Nairaland user called me to come and rectify/solve a problem in a newly completed project that they just moved in. During the troubleshooting to know the causes of breakers tripping-off, we discovered that fake cables were used. Most of the insulation have peeled-off and neutral cables is having contact with live cable. Thank God they use original breakers inside the distribution board that can trip-off when there is surge or bridging the cables if not all the cables would have got burnt. The clients confirmed to me that all the cables were all labelled NIGERCHIN not knowing that they are fake cables.

Kabelmetal and coleman yet to bring out their new rate. We don't know what tomorrow will.

I pray our incoming government to do something on this.
