The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure says 60 of its engineers on Tuesday departed Nigeria for China for four months training on manufacturing of transformers in Nigeria.
A statement issued by NASENI Deputy Director , Mr Olusegun Ayeoyenikan, said the training was targeted at establishing a fully indigenous transformer plant to be operated and managed by Nigerians, with local content as priority.
It quoted the Executive Vice Chairman of NASENI, Prof. Mohammed Haruna, expressing his joy while addressing the trainees before leaving Nigeria. He also expressed his gratitude to the Chinese Great Wall Industry Corporation , a major partner in the implementation of the project. “It is also to achieve domestication of the technology behind manufacturing of transformers and also the High-Voltage Testing Laboratory”.
“This mode of supply of Transformers to the market cannot develop local content nor achieve indigenous mass of experts for the country.”
