The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) would soon set up a transformer assembly plant in Kogi state to boost the achievement already made in the sector.
Disclosing this to journalists in Abuja yesterday, NASENI’s Executive Vice Chairman, Dr Mohammed Sani Haruna, said the problem of epileptic power supply in the country could only be overcome permanently if there is an indigenous tools and equipment manufacturer.
“The institute (NASENI) has made tremendous progress in producing pole-mounted transformers, 15KVA stabilizers and 415/220V transformers currently in use in NASENI and by other clients.
“The institute has in the offing the plan to set up a transformer assembly plant in Kogi State with the state government having a stake in the project,” he said.
He called on entrepreneurs to take up the technologies for commercialization and mass produce them in line with the agency’s mandate.
