Africa-Press – Angola. The provincial governor of Bengo, Maria Antónia Nelumba, wants the material produced in the province to be used in the national works of the PIIM and private ones.
The material produced in Bengo must be incorporated into the infrastructures that are being built around the country, said in Caxito, the governor, at the end of a visit to the companies Inotec (production of electric meters) and Serra & Coelho (production of electrical equipment) located in the Mabubas commune.
With the consumption of material from Bengo, companies will be able to increase production capacity and create more jobs for young people, he said.
During the visit to these manufacturing units, the minister referred to the creation of jobs for young people recruited at the Maptss employment center and encouraged the youth of the province to invest in technical and professional training.

As for the lack of energy from the public network that conditions production at the Serra & Coelho company, he promised to work with the Energy Distribution Company, ENDE, in order to speed up the process.
He reiterated the appeal for private investment and informed that the province has been receiving proposals for the installation of paint and wood factories.
“Later this year, the PCA of the Chinese group ORD is coming to Angola to carry out the investment in an aluminum factory to be built in the commune of Barra do Dande”, he informed.
The company Serra & Coelho (electrical equipment) has the capacity to produce 100,000 pieces/month.
Inaugurated in 2018, the factory operates with a 225 KW generator and spends more than 600,000 Kwanzas/month, which makes production costly, according to its general manager, José Silva.
The company Inotec (production of electric meters) annually produces 184 thousand and 800 single-phase and three-phase electric meters, in a private investment of three million dollars.
The initiative created 28 jobs for local youth.
