NEC TASK STATES TO PATRONIZE NASENI’S TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS

Admin November 25, 2024
NEC Meeting

The National Economic Council (NEC), has urged state governments to patronize technological innovations developed by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), which is part of a move to fast-track industrialization in Nigeria.

Vice President Kashim Shettima stated this during the 146th NEC meeting which he chaired at the Presidential Villa, Abuja following a presentation by the Executive Vice Chairman of NASENI, Mr. Khalil Suleiman Halilu, which detailed a strategic roadmap by the Agency for Nigeria’s Industrialization.

Mr. Halilu in his presentation titled “NASENI Economic Transformation Through Advancement in Technology Transfer and Adaptation”, detailed the Agency’s focus on critical sectors such as Renewable Energy & Sustainability, Health & Biotechnology, Agriculture & Food Manufacturing, Sustainable Transportation & Mobility, Digital Technology, Construction & Smart City, Defense & Aerospace.

The Agency sought NEC support to establish manufacturing industries in states, access local natural raw materials, streamline processes related to land and seaport facilitation, seek guidance or partnerships to tap into the public sector market, assistance to set up showrooms for NASENI products and favourable policies to promote NASENI activities.

The EVC/CEO of NASENI highlighted the agency’s innovations in energy security, including electric vehicles, NASENI Solar Home Systems for enhanced rural electrification; Smart devices including laptops and tablets tailored for Nigeria’s market; and Solar irrigation pumps and coal-based fertilizers to improve agricultural productivity.

In a statement by the Director of Information, NASENI, Olusegun Ayeoyenikan, Halilu explained the Agency’s commitment to transforming Nigeria into a global innovation powerhouse through technology transfer, and product commercialization, adding that the Agency is working with key partners on NASENI Troment (Vaccine factory), NASENI Portland (CNG Centre), NASENI Devfrontier (Solar light & battery), NASENI Renewable Park and NASENI Family Homes (Sustainable homes).

“Our mission is clear: to make NASENI the ‘go-to’ institution for technology transfer in Nigeria,” he stated, adding that the Agency has attracted $3.23 billion in investments, launched the DELT-Her initiative for female engineers, and how the Agency is championing renewable energy projects.

The Council lauded NASENI’s efforts in driving local manufacturing and industrial development and therefore directed the Agency to scale up the establishment of lithium battery factories in resource-rich regions and repair tractors nationwide under the National Asset Restoration Programme.

The NEC meeting further resolved to harness NASENI’s tailored support for manufacturing and public sector partnerships, ensuring Nigeria benefits from infrastructure, policy frameworks, and market access critical for economic diversification.

NASENI remains committed to working with states and the private sector to unlock Nigeria’s potential for industrial innovation and sustainable development.
