Its corporate head office is located at Plot No, 102, Isheri Road, Ojodu, Lagos State, Nigeria. It occupies a storey building painted black and white with chocolate gate.

The company engages is Industrial Engineering Consultancy, Manufacturing and Refurbishment of Power and Distribution of Transformers

 

During our visit on 21st June, 2012, we spoke with the Receptionist who refused disclose her name and also refused to collect our documents but disclosed that the company engages in Refurbishment of Power and Transformer Distribution across the country, Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering Consultancy Services. She reiterated further that the company’s factory is located at Kilometer 54, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ode Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria.

 

Moreover, we discovered that the premises is used purely for Administrative duties and it serves as a control centre for the total operation within and outside the state. All efforts to obtain necessary information from another personnel  of the company proved abortive as they all refused to disclose any information.

 

Conclusion:  Based on our visit and response from the receptionist, we are of the view that the company runs legitimate business. As such, any business relationship with the company should be mutually beneficial.

INDUSTRIAL OVERVIEW/ OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

 

Subject is operating in an industry with very great potentials. This sector in Nigeria has a lot to explore when it comes to the need for expansion, improvement of product quality, work force development and general technical expertise. Mainly, private individuals dominate this sector. Despite the huge capital required for setting up this investment, it has grown in its leaps and bounds over the decades in the nation, although, the efforts of the Federal Government cannot be ruled out. The government has put in place different policies that support private individuals to secure loans/ mortgages from banks and other financial institutions. However, to record a groundbreaking in this sector, foreign investors are inevitable.

 

This sector of the economy has great potentials for intending investors.
