Engr. Mohammed Haruna, the acting director-general, National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), in this interview with NKECHI ISAAC, x-rays various innovations of the agency, and maintains that until Nigeria commences the local production of components and equipment in the power sector, its dream of getting stable power supply will be unfulfilled.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and Nanotechnology is a world leading economy developer, as an agency with the mandate of developing science and technology in Nigeria, how have you been able to key into this world trend?
The National Agency For Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) is proud to say that it has not only keyed into this trend, but is the pioneer and chief advocate of AMT in Nigeria. We introduced it to the country and we were the people that invited other stakeholders in science and technology to buy into the trend during the first workshop that was hosted on advanced manufacturing. We imbibed it as a culture and ensured that all its research and development institutes’ processes are through AMT. It is the agency with the support of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) that established advanced manufacturing centres (AMCs) in nine tertiary institutions in the region. We have also offered training in the use of Advanced Manufacturing Concept (AMC) to several universities in Nigeria at several forums and also to members of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) to see how it is done.
