The Federal Ministry of Aviation on Tuesday commenced assessment of a made-in-Nigeria helicopter as part of measures to ensure the smooth inauguration of the project.

Officials of the aviation ministry and its agencies visited NASENI Solar Energy Limited where the helicopter hanger and helipad were housed in Abuja for on-site assessment and evaluation of the helicopter.

The Assistant Chief Information Officer, NASENI, Chinyere Ekwuazi, said in a statement issued in Abuja that the target of the Federal Government was to inaugurate the helicopter before the end of the current administration.

The Executive Vice Chairman, NASENI, Maiwalima Haruna, who was represented during the assessment programme by the Managing Director, NASENI Solar Energy Limited, Mahmoud Jaffaru, said the agency was ready to accept suggestions and support from the aviation ministry.

He said such support would lead to the successful completion of the project within the timeframe given to the agency by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Haruna said it was the desire of the agency to manufacture made-in- Nigeria helicopter that would be of international standard and help in boosting the nation’s economy.

He said NASENI had massive land mass that would accommodate all the operational activities required for the manufacturing of the aircraft.

Haruna was quoted as saying, “We have expertise for developing the helicopter and we do things according to laid-down rules. We are ready to work with you to achieve this project.”

The Deputy Director, Engineering Infrastructure, Emmanuel Ajani, said NASENI entered into partnership with Dynali Helicopter Company, Thins, Belgium, to develop the helicopter and had trained its engineers for the take off the project in Nigeria.

Buhari had approved the project on January 26, 2021 and directed NASENI to complete the production of a made-in-Nigeria helicopter before the end of his tenure.

Just like they built space rocket. APC and lies
Re: Nigeria To Start Manufacturing Helicopters This Year by Rossiminku(op): 12:08am On May 27, 2021
We must build these helicopters in mass quantities and at affordable prices, and become the number 1 supplier of helicopters to African countries.

We want to be the go-to nation for helicopters in Africa.

Excellent step in the right direction.

Why are you taking excuse for the government....


Starting a solar firm is simple... But can the poor afford solar bills?


And solar is far expensive and the battery durability is something to consider...


The government giving us power supply can enable ordinary Nigerians to afford and by so doing, will create more revenue tot ehe government purse to Channel into other areas for productive use...

No developing nation of Nigeria's size gives its citizens stable power.

Not India, not Pakistan, not Bangladesh, not Egypt, not Ethiopia....none.

It is a gradual process for everyone.

But that hasn't stopped those countries making strides in technology, and neither will it stop Nigeria.

You are hallucinating based on purest ignorance.

Nigeria's Access to Electricity stands at 57%, meaning she supplies power to 145 million citizens.

You have even small African nations like Burundi, Sierra Leone, Niger Republic etc, with Access to Electricity at 11%, 18%, 26%, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electrification_rate

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS

So to say Nigeria has the ''worst electricity situation in the world'' shows your raw, unadulterated IGNORANCE.

Mtcheeewwww.......Nigeria that has not finished optimizing Kilishi production wants to build Helicopters. Let the sleeping Dullard from Daura be the first to board it accompanied by all Nairaland resident Zombies ( MANNABBQGRILL, Simplyleo, helinues and Ngeneukwenu).


Aljannah Firdaus in advance.

It's happening already.

It's not about ''wants to build''.

They've actually built one or two already, which are being assessed by the Federal Ministry of Aviation, which incidentally, was the point of this whole thread.

Shame you're a donkey, too dumb to grasp progress.
Mumu for life! Hope you and your mentally deranged father will be the first to board the helicopter to the land of no return so that we good people of NAIRALAND can at least have a breath of fresh air.

There is a HUGE train manufacturing plant under construction in Kajola, Ogun state, by CCECC.

Construction of the plant began in 2019.

Kajola Train manufacturing Plant (Und Const)
https://www.railwaypro.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/nigeria-plant-300x161.jpg

It will employ 5,000 Nigerians and build trains for the Nigerian Railway Corporation and for export.

It is the first train manufacturing plant in Africa outside of South Africa.

Who is the head of NASENI? Regardless I'm very sure his in-laws and relatives are interested and will be involved cos this man cannot just give somebody through pass to chop money.

Another one saddled by inferiority complex.

Your juniors are on YouTube right now learning for free, how to build ANYTHING, from electric cars to flying cars and vessels.

Don't join others to be innovative and use your head.

Be looking for how to ''waka''.
