Managing Director John Anaman hails Lekki Free Zone as safe haven for energy investment
By Favour Ulebor, Abuja
As Nigeria continues to grapple with persistent power challenges, Langsung Electric FZE is proving that innovative energy solutions, local capacity-building, and strategic partnerships can drive real change.
The company, led by Managing Director and CEO Mr. John Anaman, specializes in transformers, switchgears, high, medium and low voltage equipment, and movable substations; solutions that are critical for modern power distribution.
Speaking exclusively about the company’s operations, Anaman said:
“We have a branch here in Nigeria. So what we do mainly is transformers, switchgears, high voltage, medium and low voltage. We also do movable substations. We do designing, everything concerning power distribution. We are very interested in it.”
Partnership with Lekki Free Trade Zone
Langsung Electric FZE is firmly embedded in the Lekki Free Trade Zone, a relationship that Anaman describes as almost symbiotic.
“Our company virtually belongs to Lekki Free Zone. Every problem, every issue that we have, immediately we call upon them. They immediately call the concerned authorities to make sure that our problems are solved. Almost everyone in the free zone here is virtually part of our company. They are very, very good. I’ve never come across any issue here that I’ve called upon and haven’t gotten a solution.”
He further praised the zone’s safety and readiness to support investors:
“I recommend that everyone who really wants to establish any business in Nigeria should come to Lekki Free Trade Zone because it’s very safe. Power is readily available. And the authorities in the free zone are readily willing to help every client solve their problems.”
Innovation in energy solutions
Langsung Electric’s movable substations are a highlight of their innovative approach. These units combine a transformer, high and low voltage equipment, and protective systems in one container, allowing rapid deployment across industrial estates, factories, shopping malls, and oil and gas sites.
“Our product is very viable for this environment. You can have different materials, stainless steel, carbon fiber, or any material suitable for your environment. This can be carried to any site anywhere you need power,” Anaman explained.
The company’s solutions primarily serve oil and gas companies and power distribution firms, addressing critical gaps in electricity supply while ensuring compliance with international standards.
“Our transformer is a pure copper core, and it meets all international standards. We have all the necessary certification; NEMSA, SON, and any type of test you need, we can perform either in-house or on-site at your business,” Anaman said.
Local capacity-building
A major achievement of Langsung Electric FZE is its investment in human capital. Recognizing the scarcity of skilled personnel, the company spent two years training local staff to operate complex equipment independently.
“Currently, people are working independently by themselves. We have the head of technical here, who is extremely good. Any problem you face locally, he can handle it,” Anaman said.
This approach has not only strengthened the company’s operations but also built technical expertise among Nigerian engineers, a critical step for sustainable industrial growth.
Championing change in Nigeria’s energy sector
Langsung Electric FZE represents a model for how private enterprise can address Nigeria’s energy deficits while creating jobs and promoting local manufacturing. Their focus on high-quality, locally assembled equipment and collaboration with Lekki Free Trade Zone demonstrates that strategic partnerships and innovation can drive progress in critical sectors.
“From what we’ve seen here, we are confident that anyone serious about establishing a business in Nigeria can thrive. We’ve never experienced unresolved issues, and power is constant. The Lekki Free Zone supports every business. That’s why we are here, making transformers and distributing high-quality equipment across Nigeria and beyond,” Anaman concluded.
With Langsung Electric FZE, the vision is clear: deliver world-class power solutions, empower local talent, and champion change in Nigeria’s energy and manufacturing sectors.
