This achievement reaffirms their status as the largest smart meter manufacturer in sub-Saharan Africa, marking significant advancements in energy accessibility and efficiency throughout the year.

Additionally, MOJEC has a vast network of over 5,000 skilled installers, which strengthens their leadership in the energy sector. This extensive team enables quick and effective meter installations, making MOJEC a preferred choice for electricity distribution companies throughout Nigeria.

The company emphasizes its strong production capabilities, which make it a critical player in solving Nigeria’s metering shortages, especially considering there are about seven million customers without electricity meters. The government and industry stakeholders are keen to address this issue, particularly by supporting local manufacturers like MOJEC. Overall, MOJEC‘s efforts aim to build a more efficient and fair energy future for everyone.
