A FIRM Eaton is set to host electricians at an event tagged “Electrician’s Day”. The event, aimed at building capacity among electricians, is scheduled to hold on Thursday in Ikeja, Lagos.

The Marketing Manager, Eaton in West Africa, Kunmi Odunoku, said: “We believe electricians play a vital role in electrical installation safety and adherence to relevant standards, which has led to Eaton bringing up the concept “Electrician Day” with the aim of creating a safe space where electricians, electrical wholesalers and dealers have the opportunity to learn, discuss, share their thoughts and opinions on key industry issues with experts and thought leaders.”

Odunoku  said Eaton’s Anti-Counterfeit Champion Campaign would be launched at the event.

“The counterfeiting of well-known brands and products is a growing, worldwide issue. Using counterfeit electrical products can result in a higher risk of failure or malfunction, potentially leading to injuries, loss of life, equipment failure, property damage or fire. This is why we feel there is a need for an anti-counterfeiting campaign. We will use the opportunity of this event to kick-start the campaign aimed at educating electricians on fake products and the harm they cause.’’

Some end users do not have knowledge about these products, so it is important for the electricians to help them on that front.”
