We’ve started getting orders for our products – NASENI

The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), said it has started receiving a lot of interest from dealers and the general public of its recently produced products.

Recall that NASENI had on Thursday unveiled a set of new NASENI products, developed in collaboration with technical partners.

The Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of  NASENI, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, unveiled NASENI 300 Watts LED Solar Street Lamp; NASENI Laptop, NASENI Lithium battery, NASENI solar irrigation pumps and a NASENI Smartphone.

A statement by its Director of Information, Olusegun Ayeoyenikan, urged the general public that all enquiries about bulk orders for the NASENI laptop, NASENI solar irrigation pump and pre-orders for all the other products, should be emailed to: [email protected].

It added that when Halilu assumed office, he stressed the agency’s commitment to collaborating with private sector partners to bring high-quality household and industrial products to the market.

Halilu said, “Our new model at NASENI is to do everything to conserve resources, avoid duplication of effort, and shorten go-to-market time. What this means is that whenever we find serious partners who are already operating in our areas of interest, we will work with and support them to improve their products and take these products to the market.

“As a government agency, we are not out to compete with the private sector. Instead, we are here as partners and enablers, helping with everything from design, to testing, to helping scale up production capacity, and seeking out new markets.

“Over time, the NASENI vision is that its domestic product manufacturing initiatives will transition from ‘Semi-Knocked Down’ (SKD) assembly, to ‘Completely Knocked Down’ (CKD) assembly. In addition, there will be a concerted effort to increase the input of locally-sourced materials in all product components. NASENI will also work to ensure the full transfer of all required Intellectual Property (IP) and technology elements and licensing.”
