The Governing Board of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has lauded the agency for its remarkable achievements in developing homegrown technologies that are transforming key sectors of Nigeria’s economy.
During an inspection visit to NASENI’s facilities, the Board members were received by the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC), Mr Khalil Suleiman Halilu, who conducted them through a range of groundbreaking projects spanning agriculture, renewable energy, health, and manufacturing.
A statement from the agency noted that within just two years, NASENI has successfully developed and deployed a series of indigenous solutions aimed at boosting local productivity and reducing Nigeria’s reliance on imported products.
“The board members were taken through various projects showcasing NASENI’s advancements in technology-driven solutions designed to enhance national productivity and promote industrial self-reliance,” the statement added.
Mr Halilu expressed gratitude to the Board for their support and encouragement, describing the visit as a strong endorsement of NASENI’s alignment with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s *Renewed Hope Agenda*, particularly in driving a self-reliant, technology-based economy.
He reiterated the agency’s commitment to fostering local innovation, emphasising that NASENI remains “dedicated to delivering solutions made by Nigerians, for Nigerians.”
Observers noted that the visit reinforces NASENI’s strategic role in promoting indigenous research, engineering, and industrial advancement—positioning Nigeria as a hub for innovation and technological self-sufficiency.
