CASE STUDY OF FAKE ELECTRICAL CABLES.

Studies have also traced the various cases of fire outbreaks in homes and offices to imported cables, which are usually below specification with exaggerated grade. The stunted growth in the sector has also been traced to faking and sub-standardisation. The existence of fake and sub-standardisation is caused by unscrupulous businessmen who travel to China and India to not only fake original brands but also ask for reduction in the diameter of copper content of the cables and wires, adding that this is the cause of frequent fire in homes and offices. The reduction, which affects the quality of the cables, is sometimes from 2.5 square metres to 1.73 square metres, which make them  hot and unable to carry the current that consequently lead to the frequency of fire outbreaks.

It was also gathered that the importers are able to achieve these evil machinations due to weak regulatory institutions, poor legal framework and poor policy implementations. This brings into question the capacity of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to stem the tide of the importation of fake and sub-standard cables into the country.

The preponderance of cheap and substandard cables in the country is due low level of compliance with regulations and laws of the land.
