Addressing State House Correspondents, Haruna said that he was at the Villa to brief the President on the activities of the agency as well as present the agency’s financial report as requested by Buhari.

He explained that the agency had started the manufacturing of made-in-Nigeria helicopters, adding that experts have also been trained for mass production of the helicopters.

He noted that NASENI has since acquired 10-hectare farmland on lease in Adamawa State, using water from River Benue, where a pilot scheme is starting.

“It is estimated that, based on the technologies to be used there, it will be possible to have three multi-crop seasons in a year, commencing from October this year,” he said.
