National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) in partnership with the Department of State Services (DSS), has produced state-of-the-art security facility fully-equipped with the latest security systems and technology aim at transforming the conduct of security operations nationwide.

Making the disclosure in Abuja, NASENI Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, said the high-tech equipment which his Agency is jointly producing with the DSS, with full support of Mr. President, will improve intelligence gathering and effective security coverage in the country.

Halilu said “A state-of-the-art manufacturing facility jointly constructed with the DSS in Abuja, is fully-equipped with the latest security systems and technology that will transform the conduct of security operations nationwide,”.

He said that, the DSS Director General, Mr. Oluwatosin Ajayi, had always emphasized Mr. President’s vision of promoting self-reliance by Security Agencies in Nigeria and reducing importation of security equipment.

The NASENI boss said this is why both agencies trained and developed technical expertise in manufacturing the security equipment; details of which cannot be disclosed now for obvious reasons.

According to him “the D-G of DSS  and the President firmly believe that Nigeria has the capacity to manufacture its own security equipment and should minimize reliance on foreign imports.

“This strategic partnership leverages on NASENI’s scientific and engineering expertise to enhance research and innovation tailored specifically to the needs of the security sector,” Halilu said.

The success of this innovation, he stated, would soon position Nigeria as a leader in security technology manufacturing in the West African Sub-Region, with positive implications for regional stability and economic development.

The EVC  in a statement signed by NASENI Director of Information and Protocol, Mr Olusegun Ayeoyenikan said “the initiative reflects the President’s broader priorities to promote self-reliance and technological advancement in security systems, as well as marking a significant milestone in Nigeria’s pursuit of sustainable and security solutions”
