Khalil Halilu, the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure CEO, says NASENI’s branded products will be ready by the second quarter of 2024.

Mr Halilu announced this in a statement on Tuesday.

The CEO said this when the Senate Committee on NASENI members, chaired by Ezenwa Onyewuchi, paid an oversight function visit to NASENI Headquarters, Abuja.

He said the agency was establishing a Technology Transfer Hub within its headquarters to bring eco-friendly technologies closer to people and to make it affordable both on a short and long-term basis.

“We promised Nigerians that by the first quarter of this year, they are going to be seeing NASENI products and today, you have witnessed three products. The solar irrigation system, which is like a generator, but completely solar and batteries and the second one is our electronic motorcycle and tricycle.

“The last one being the solar home system where you can power your entire house off-grid,” the NASENI boss said.

According to him, Nigerians will soon start seeing NASENI-branded products in our efforts to build a national brand for the country.

Earlier, the chairman of the Senate Committee on NASENI, Onyewuchi, commended the agency for championing local content development of solar-powered smart irrigation, tricycles, and electric motorbikes with accelerated technology transfer.

According to the lawmaker, the committee is quite pleased with the level of progress, and we want to assure NASENI of the support of the National Assembly.
