Hope For Bumper Harvests Rising As NASENI’s Solar-Powered Irrigation Pumps Ready For Nationwide Rollout

Nigerian farmers are nary uncertainty excited with the imaginable of expanding their capableness to turn much crops and go richer arsenic the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has continued to assistance translation successful captious sectors of the Nigerian economy, helping to boost capableness and creating technology-enabled situation for farmers to thrive.

The instauration of NASENI’s Solar-powered irrigation pump volition revolutionize agriculture done accrued harvest accumulation and Nigerian farmers basal to payment successful divers ways from this.

The NASENI Solar Irrigation pumps are outgo effectual portion providing a sustainable and reliable root of h2o for crops. Farmers tin usage the star irrigation pump to h2o their crops much consistently, starring to higher yields and perchance aggregate harvests per year.

It tin marque farmers little babelike connected unpredictable rainfall patterns thereby mitigating the risks of harvest failure. It eliminates the request for fossil fuels similar diesel oregon petrol for irrigation, reducing greenhouse state emissions and aerial pollution. It tin besides beryllium utilized successful areas without reliable grid access.

By utilizing NASENI star irrigation pump, farmers volition importantly person accrued cultivation productivity, little operational cost, higher incomes and improved livelihoods than the petrol-powered irrigation pumps.

This irrigation strategy has been tested and recovered efficient, its effectiveness has encouraged much famers to inquire for its deployment connected a larger standard particularly present that the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made agriculture a cornerstone of its thrust to boost nutrient security, tackle unemployment and marque Nigerian agro-products much competitory successful the planetary market.

The NASENI Solar Irrigation Pumps precocious won accolades erstwhile it was endorsed by the National Economic Council (NEC) for nationwide rollout up of the 2025 dry-season farming.

This landmark decision, taken astatine NEC’s 152nd gathering held astatine the Presidential Villa, Abuja past Thursday underscored the Council’s assurance successful NASENI’s capableness to present homegrown, energy-efficient solutions that straight respond to Nigeria’s nutrient information challenges.

This improvement volition bring succor to Nigerian farmers, who person struggled implicit the years with precocious outgo of petrol of diesel-powered irrigation pumps. In enactment with its 3Cs mandate—Collaboration Creation, and Commercialization—NASENI developed the solar-powered irrigation pump arsenic an affordable, energy-efficient, and sustainable alternative.

It was designed to assistance boost cultivation productivity by lowering operational costs for farmers, expanding yields, raising incomes, and improving agrarian livelihoods.

Speaking connected the development, the Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NASENI, Mr. Khalil Suleiman Halilu, commended NEC’s resolution. He said “the NEC’s determination is simply a beardown ballot of assurance successful our quality to present energy-efficient, homegrown solutions that volition boost nutrient production, little costs for farmers, and unafraid livelihoods.

“Special appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the continuous support, ensuring NASENI remains astatine the forefront of advancing his administration’s reforms connected industrialization, exertion transfer, and nutrient security. Together, we are gathering a much resilient cultivation sector, harvesting much sustainably and unlocking infinite possibilities for Nigeria.”

To facilitate contiguous wide accumulation and organisation of the pumps, the NEC further mandated the Honourable Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, to enactment retired backing modalities for NASENI.

This endorsement reinforces NASENI’s relation arsenic a cardinal operator of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, peculiarly successful advancing industrialization, section exertion transfer, and sustainable solution.

NASENI’s solar-powered irrigation pumps connection benefits similar reduced h2o waste, little operational costs, and supply a reliable, renewable vigor source, adjacent successful distant areas with constricted entree to grid energy oregon fossil fuels. These systems besides trim labor, are environmentally friendly, and tin supply surplus vigor for different workplace needs.

The concern successful this assemblage is monolithic due to the fact that it is worthy billions of naira; however, the wide benefits to the farmers, the Nigerian authorities and to the argumentation of nutrient information are enormous.

Apart from the information that it reduces outgo of energy, done the usage of escaped renewable star vigor from the sun, the deployment of this strategy volition importantly little energy costs associated with irrigation and heighten businesslike watering that tin amended farmers’ incomes and livelihoods.
