Coleman Wires and Cable started as a tiny enterprise in 1996, but we were officially incorporated as a corporation in 1975. I took on the role of Managing Director in 2021 when we had to reorganize our business to get beyond the early difficulties. Our narrative is one of grace from the bottom up. We were able to progressively expand from a micro-small business into a small, medium, big, and extremely huge business throughout the years by putting in time and effort. Although our business idea was initially modest, we deliberately grew it. Please be aware that our initial objective was to be the top-rated wire and cable provider in Nigeria, not to grow into the biggest business. We then discovered that all Nigerians favored locally produced cable over imported cable from outside. Our view widened when the issue of why we couldn't create a business that could serve both…

Nigeria's Dangote Refinery Starts Up with First Shipment of Crude Oil An important turning point for Nigeria's oil sector is the $20 billion Dangote refinery, which is about to start operations. The OTIS tanker, carrying 950,000 barrels of Nigerian Agbami crude oil, delivered the refinery its first cargo of crude oil. The cargo marks the start of operations at the much-awaited facility and was chartered by the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC). Escravos, Bonny Light, and Forcados are among the several kinds of crude that the Dangote refinery is equipped to handle.

Even with significant delays anticipated, the refinery is expected to run at full…

A $20 billion airport in the middle of the ocean is shocking to many. The airport serves both local and international travel, and although it boasts a remarkable selection of stores, like Chanel, Hermes, and Cartier, in addition to dining options, what really leaves social media users in awe is the outside of the airport. The airport, known as the Kansai International Airport, is situated in the Greater Osaka Area of Japan in the center of Osaka Bay, off the Honshu Shore. The notion of building an island, Kankūjima, specifically to house the airport was initially conceived as a way to alleviate congestion at Osaka International Airport. For every airport facility, there are two zones on the island: Terminal One and Terminal Two. The first airport terminal in the world, measuring an astounding 1.7 km, was built by Renzo Piano and is the site of both local and international airline…
