Inspecting the lightings, the Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, hailed the innovative product as capable of solving power wastage as well as consumption problem in the country.
Omatek produces energy efficient LED
Omatek Ventures Plc has lightened up the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) building with its energy efficient light-emitting diode (LED), said to be capable of saving energy cost by over 75 per cent.
His words: “I would like to congratulate Omatek on this very innovative way of finding solution to a massive national problem of power consumption and wastage of power. I want to congratulate the Managing Director of Omatek, Mrs. , for the thoughtfulness that got her to the Stock Exchange to sell the idea. But if the idea was being sold and not bought by the stock market, we would not be here today. So, I also want to congratulate the CEO of NSE for his foresight, visionary leadership and his adaptation and adaptability to new technology.”
According to him, what he saw at the NSE is a giant leap, “giant leap in the sense that it is in tandem with Nigeria’s new renewable energy and energy efficiency policy, the stock exchange has taken the bull by the horn by allowing this LED process of lighting."
“We are very happy about this project, we are also happy that the stock exchange is also working with Omatek to integrate the solar component,” Nebo said.
In her speech, Mrs. Seriki said the company has decided to reduce consumption in every household using Omatek LED bulb.
“We are using the NSE as an example to tell the whole world that this is happening in Nigeria. Nigeria has joined the league of those that have embraced the energy reduction and consumption savings policy. So we have made sure we reduced lighting and power consumption from between 70 to 95 per cent, and this has helped tremendously in most of the schools and homes,” she said.
Seriki explained that the 60 watts bulb in Nigeria is being replaced by Omatek 6.7 watts bulb.
“What we are saying to Nigerians and Africans is that this is a solution for manufacturers and factories. Our LED bulbs have actually solved security and fire problems because they don’t blow up. We are also commissioning retail ones for everyone to buy. I think we are all entitled to have light,” she added.
