Politics / Like China & Japan: NASENI Is Pathway To Nigeria’s Industrial Economy by honey001(m): 6:44pm On May 24 |
Nigeria cannot achieve real development without sustainable industrial growth and manufacturing capacity, which are essential for addressing poverty, unemployment, and insecurity. Establishing a robust industrial production base and a competitive economy is the only way to reduce Nigeria’s dependence on importing goods, technologies, and services from other nations. What is an industrial economy? Simply put, it is the prevalent use of machines, equipment or technologies in industry and all business concerns which combine other factors of innovation, production, facilities, supplies, work, and knowledge to produce material goods or services intended for the market. The complex and functional nature of infrastructures and investments in science, technology and innovation system put in place by a nation to drive own’s industrial production and manufacturing techniques determine the relative presence or lack of apparent competitiveness in the production of processed and manufactured goods that are being connected between industrial activity and the activity in the primary sector, local or international trade and service activity. When a nation significantly lacks the above-mentioned factors for economic efficiency, it faces industrial underdevelopment along with all the associated deplorable social and economic conditions. Countries like Japan and China who initially were not among European nations which experienced the first and second industrial revolutions in the 17th, 18th to 19th centuries respectively had rapidly advanced to join the league of industrialized nations of the West because those nations overtime deliberately invested in research and development (R&), innovation, science, and technology. Newcomers to the global industrial arena called Asian Tigers: Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and others discovered the secret of substantial investments in science and innovation much earlier than many African nations, including Nigeria. Africa’s earlier absence of a strong push for industrialization has contributed to its downward economic trends, as evidenced by the continent’s low human development index, widespread poverty, high unemployment, worsening health indicators, prevalence of diseases, and low life expectancy, affecting much of the population. Science and Technology, engineering research and innovation are the essential bedrocks for any meaningful industrialization endeavour to take place. The implication for Nigeria is that if engineering, science, technology and Innovation are not given due priority in our nation’s economic recovery and growth plans, any success expected to be achieved will soon be short-lived or unsustainable. Countries like Japan, U.S.A, China, Germany, Indonesia others had overtime gained their reputation as “Economic Giants” due to the priority which the leaders gave previously to R& investments, earmarking 5-6 per cent of their gross domestic products (GDP) for the development of science, technology, and innovation (STI). Investment in STI is a core factor of development and therein lies the secret of advanced nations’ leadership, pursuit and commitment. The founding fathers of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure(Presidency) in 1992 established the agency with the aim of establishing and nurturing an appropriate and dynamic Science and Engineering Infrastructure base for achieving home-initiated and home-sustained industrialization process through the development of relevant processes, appropriate local machine design and machine building capabilities for capital goods and equipment manufacture to guarantee job creation, national economic well-being and progress. Previous R& efforts and other activities within NASENI’s mandate areas had translated into various technology interventions leading to attainment of capacities and capabilities in local mass production of capital goods, tools and equipment in critical sectors of the economy like agriculture, power, water resources, automotive industry, ICT, health, aviation, education, transportation, scientific equipment and manufacturing, chemical and other engineering materials. The list is boundless. The resources at NASENI, combined with the agency’s visionary new leadership, are poised to ensure Nigeria’s self-reliance and industrial development. NASENI was strategically established to produce relevant technologies, set up industrial plants, and stimulate knowledge-based entrepreneurship for the socio-economic advancement of the country. Its major challenge in the past was lack of patronage of its products and technologies by local entrepreneurs or businesses, exacerbated by low commercialization attempts of its R& results, leaving most of them wasting away on the shelves. However, with the coming on board of a new chief executive, Mr. Khalil Suleiman Halilu, a Techpreneur and Businessman, there has been a dramatic change of focus toward full commercialization of NASENI’s resources, making them available in the market or to end users its R& products, machines, and other equipment to boost the economy. NASENI today stands as a beacon of indigenous technological advancement, aligning with its core mission of fostering dynamic Science and Engineering Infrastructure for national progress. The agency under the leadership of Halilu has articulated a bold vision to fuel Nigeria’s innovation for a sustainable future through the 3Cs principle of Collaboration, Creation and Commercialization which have indeed opened more doors to result based partnerships with national and international communities. According to Halilu, “our new model at NASENI is to do everything to conserve resources, avoid duplication of efforts, and shorten go-to-market time. What this means is that wherever we find serious partners who are already operating in our areas of interest, we will work with them to improve our 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, or helping companies in scaling-up production capacity and to seek out new markets.” The agency recently unveiled to the general public some branded technological products manufactured in collaboration with its partners. They included solar irrigation systems, electric vehicles (ranging from tricycles to motorcycles), NASENI home solar system, animal feed milling machines, laptop, smartphone, solar streetlamp, and lithium battery. All these efforts were geared towards creating jobs and reducing import bills. NASENI is not only promoting the development of digital technologies such as mobile financial transaction platforms to bring more people into the formal economy, but the agency is also carrying out additive manufacturing, using 3D printing and other advanced manufacturing technologies to produce goods locally. NASENI has developed an electronic voting solution to help reduce electoral malpractices during elections. The organization is also working on other projects such as smart prepaid meter and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to promote economic development in Nigeria. Over time, NASENI envisions that its domestic products and manufacturing initiatives will transition from “Semi-Knocked Down” (SKD) to “Completely Knocked Down” (CKD) assembly. In addition, there will be concerted efforts to increase the input of locally sourced materials in all product components. NASENI will also work to ensure full transfers of all required Intellectual Property (IP) and technology elements including licensing for domestication and adaptations. Halilu has pledged to keep the public updated about the progress in the industrial transformational journey of Nigeria, which is a direct manifestation of the Agency’s triple principle of Collaboration, Creation and Commercialization. “As the only purpose-built agency of the Federal Government in Nigeria with a technology transfer mandate, NASENI will always focus on progressively scaling-up local-content sourcing, and strengthening domestic technical and production capacities,” says Halilu. Going forward, the agency will continue to play crucial roles in Nigeria’s economic transformation not only now, but also serve as leader in the promotion of science and technology, developing indigenous solutions to foster economic growth, provide capital goods and services based on sound engineering practices, support infrastructure development that are essential for manufacturing and economic growth, including driving technological advancement through R& amongst other initiatives. Let all hands be on deck at this critical time in the life of our nation as the agency and its team of stakeholders, partners and collaborators continue to assist in pulling Nigeria out of her socio-economic difficulties through STI. According to recent statistics by National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria’s investment in science and technology has led to significant growth in sectors like telecommunications, IT, and e-commerce, contributing around 10-15 per cent to gross domestic product (GDP). However, compared to other developed nations whose economic growth is dependent on STI, Nigeria is still lagging behind. China’s investment in STI contributes around 30-40% to its GDP; UK’s investment contributes around 20-25%; USA’s investment contributes 30-40% to its GDP while Indonesia’s STI contributes around 10-15 percent. The lasting solution to our country’s economic dilemma now is for us to turn determinedly toward a continuous investment in science, technology, and innovations as we journey toward industrialization, and regarding this particular endeavour for Nigeria, the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) is on the driver’s seat.

Ayeoyenikan is the Director Information, National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Headquarters, Abuja https://naseni.gov.ng/like-china-japan-naseni-is-pathway-to-nigerias-industrial-economy/ |

Technology Market / Nigeria To Start Producing Mobile Phones, Laptops Others – NASENI by honey001(m): 7:29am On May 10 |
The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has disclosed plans to produce laptops, android smartphones, lithium batteries and solar street lamps. The Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (EVC/CEO) of NASENI, Khalil Halilu, made the disclosure on Thursday in Abuja during a media briefing. He said the production of the materials were part of efforts to develop national brands to compete with other products on the market. He said the production would contribute to oyster existing products that include solar irrigation system, electric keke, electric motorcycles and solar-powered cargo tricycles. He emphasized that the agency is tasked with domesticating technology both capital and consumer goods. According to Halilu, the agency had embarked on its 3C principles of creation, collaboration and commercialization with both public and private sectors strategic partners to ensure that the agency does not only embark on research but also take the products to end users. When asked on strategies it would use to ensure the products will not end up in the trash of history, he said: “We know Nigeria is a very competitive market but we are super charging our business development unit.” “The main reason is because we need to provide a better value for cheaper price, considering the kind of market we have, otherwise we are out of market. We are trying all our best to ensure we deliver right value to our customers,” he added. While stating that the products will be available in the market, he said NASENI was looking at avenue to part with other government agencies to make the products available in every local government of the country as well as exploring the use of agents. He added that the products were part of partnership with the private sector with the agency exploring the manufacturing of the first solar mounting ramp in West Africa. He listed some of the achievements and ongoing activities of the agency to include the development of NASENI Proposal Evaluation Portal, NASENI Growth Hacker, NASENI ERP, NASENI eProcurement, NASENI StemBox, NASENI Innovation Hub, PICTT, among others. https://dailytrust.com/nigeria-to-start-producing-mobile-phones-laptops-others-naseni/ 1 Like

Crime / Bandits Invade Bwari, Niger Communities Kill Four, Kidnap 39 by honey001(m): 5:21am On Dec 30, 2023 |
On Saturday, December 23, bandits invaded Garam community, which is five minutes drive from Bwari killing a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, while kidnapping 13 other person’s. On Thursday December 28, bandits again invaded Kuduru, which shares a boundary with Garam, and kidnapped 18 persons. Also on Friday, December 29, bandits invaded Azu, killing three people and kidnapping eight others. A resident of Garam, who identified herself as Mrs. Juliana confirmed the development and said the first house the bandits entered, they asked for the house of their target. She stated: “The bandits entered a wrong house, kidnapped two boys who later led them to the house of their target. “When they got there, they kidnapped the entire family, but while leaving the house, they shot the man (their target), who is a pastor at the Redeemed Christians Church of God in the presence of his wife and their three children.” It was further gathered that when the wife realised that she left her six month old baby behind, she asked for permission of the bandits to go carry the baby, and she was followed back to the house by the only female among the bandits. However, when the female bandit ran out of patience, she left the woman, joined the others and went with the other kidnapped persons who were 13 in number.” The pastor’s wife, it was gathered, is a teacher in one of the government secondary schools in Bwari. “The wife told them that her husband is on duty. They, however, kidnapped two of his children.” The eyewitness added that 13 persons were kidnapped, while a five year old boy of the Redeemed Church pastor that was killed was abandoned by the bandits at the river side because he couldn’t cross the river. The boy was rescued by the vigilante who went on the trail of the bandits. All efforts to get the reaction of FCT Police Command to confirm the incident were futile as the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh did not pick calls nor respond to text messages. https://thenationonlineng.net/bandits-invade-bwari-niger-communities-kill-four-kidnap-39/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |
