President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday commissioned the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) to the Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Development Institute (AMEDI), Lafia.
This, according to NASENI was part of the Buhari administration’s determination to make Nigeria a hub and supplier of agro-allied technology, equipment and machinery for the development of the agricultural sector and create jobs for the youth.
“NASENI under my leadership has developed a culture of speedy delivery on Presidential directives, not only to justify the new status of the agency but also to fast-track the transition of Nigeria to a manufacturing knowledge-based economy. “We are conversant with the Sustainable Development Goals and our national expectations to end hunger and create decent and inclusive jobs for our youths and women. We have resolved at NASENI to use the platforms of AMEDIs to modernize agribusiness in Nigeria and ensure sustainable scaling of agro-enterprises for new jobs and wealth creation.
He explained further that the main workshop in the institute shall become a model of a SMART factory that will leverage cutting-edge technologies to deliver made-in-Nigeria products and market demand-driven services that are suitable for both farmers and arable lands.
