The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) is surviving up to its mandate arsenic the lone purpose-built involution Agency of the Federal Government nether the Presidency. It has the work to nurture an due and dynamic Science and Engineering Infrastructure basal for achieving home-initiated and home-sustained industrialization for Nigeria.
From inception successful 1992, the Agency has propelled the imaginativeness to substance citizens’ innovativeness for sustainable improvement based connected a improvement paradigm anchored connected applicable processes, superior goods, and instrumentality indispensable for occupation creation, nationalist economical well-being and progress.
Nigeria’s quest to attain socio-economic translation is profoundly babelike connected interventions by NASENI, which is wherefore it has invested successful captious sectors particularly to amended the engineering and manufacturing sectors of the economy.
These investments person made NASENI the fulcrum from which Nigeria tin amended its competitiveness and cognition worth and it has played its role to marque disposable successful the marketplace the superior and intermediate superior products required for instrumentality and instrumentality design, fabrication, and wide accumulation to supply an enabling situation for sustainable industrialization of the country.
NASENI has ensured sustainability successful captious sectors specified arsenic Agriculture and Food manufacturing, Water Resources, Aviation, Renewable Energy and Sustainability, Health and Biotechnology, Education, Sustainable Transportation and Mobility, IT and Software, Construction and Smart City arsenic good arsenic Defence and Aerospace.
Having the imperative to catalyse the nurturing of technological and engineering projects successful Nigeria, NASENI plays a captious relation successful transforming the federation into a self-reliant, exertion and innovation hub. Its superior people is to empower Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) done impartation of technologies, engineering principles and practices for the accumulation of instrumentality that volition conscionable planetary standards arsenic good arsenic sustenance of a flourishing section superior goods oregon industry.
NASENI has a wide position connected improvement crossed antithetic sectors and arsenic specified it has established Development Institutes successful antithetic parts of the state with their mono-mandates. Also successful beingness nether the Agency are emerging institutes and 1 constricted liability institution known arsenic NASENI Solar Energy Limited (NSEL) with 50 megawatts installed capableness for accumulation and manufacturing of star panels and its accessories.
NASENI’s institutes include: The Scientific Equipment Development Institute (SEDI) Enugu, Enugu State with cardinal absorption connected technological instrumentality development/manufacture of technological products and related superior goods; The Scientific Equipment Development Institute (SEDI) Minna, Niger State acceptable up to probe into and make systems for the mass-production of schoolhouse subject laboratory apparatus for physics, chemistry, biology, introductory technology, societal studies, etc.
Others are: The Engineering Materials Development Institute (EMDI), Akure, Ondo State: Established to nutrient engineering materials and instrumentality of assorted types, sections and sizes; The Electronic Development Institute (ELDI), Awka, Anambra State was established to alteration Nigerian industries vie for their ain just stock of the increasing planetary marketplace of electronics done re-engineering, exertion transportation and innovation.
There are besides Hydraulic Equipment Development Institute (HEDI), Kano, Kano State which produces hydraulic and pneumatic machinery, materials and their accumulation systems and transportation of these to backstage assemblage outer industries and; the National Engineering Design Development Institute (NEDDI), Nnewi, Anambra State with the mandate to make engineering designs and disseminate aforesaid to SMEs successful bid to standardize Nigeria-made products, making them globally competitive.
The Power Equipment and Electrical Machinery Development Institute (PEEMADI), Okene, Kogi State produces technologies for the accumulation and organisation of spares and components required for powerfulness instrumentality and electrical machines for the sustenance of a viable powerfulness manufacture successful Nigeria.
The Prototype Engineering Development Institute (PEDI), Ilesha, Osun State has a mandate specifically to make engineering prototypes and their accumulation systems and transportation of these to backstage assemblage outer industries.
Moreover, the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Development Institute (AMTDI) Jalingo, Taraba State identifies and harnesses astir caller advances successful manufacturing exertion to summation productivity, amended existing products and nutrient precocious prime caller products that conscionable each planetary standards.
