Stakeholders said that the introduction of consumer loans in the economy is vital to strengthening purchasing power.
This was said at the product launch and interactive session organised by Noltec Engineering in partnership with Hitachi, San Da and Era Group Managing Director, Noltec Engineering, Akinyinka Akinnola stated that access to consumer loans will enhance purchasing power of consumers and enable a flexible payment plan.
“Consumer financing plays a crucial role in making capital-intensive purchases more affordable. As the economy evolves, offering lower interest rates and extended payment terms can stimulate demand for essential products and services like air-conditioning,” he added.
He noted, “The economy needs to develop and more consumer loans need to be available and gender-sensitive finance at lower digit interest rate, should be available.

Our recent partnership with Hitachi underscores our commitment to introducing advanced air-conditioning technologies across residential, commercial and industrial sectors in Nigeria.”
