NASENI Distributes Clean Energy Solutions to 2,000 Kano Households - By Jamilu Adam

By Nura Ahmad
The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has empowered over 2,000 households in Kano State with clean energy technologies under its Sustainable Empowerment Programme.

The initiative, flagged off on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at Fabs Event Centre in Kano, provided beneficiaries with clean cookstoves, solar home systems, and other energy solutions designed to improve access to reliable and environmentally friendly power, particularly in rural and semi-urban communities.

Flagging off the programme, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, described the intervention as a clear demonstration of the Federal Government’s commitment to translating industrial and economic policies into tangible benefits for citizens.

She commended NASENI for driving innovation and promoting local production, noting that the initiative aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, particularly in the areas of industrialisation, job creation, and inclusive economic growth.

The minister also highlighted Kano’s strategic importance, describing the state as a historic commercial and manufacturing hub in West Africa with strengths in trade, textiles, agro-processing, and enterprise.
According to her, the programme also supports the objectives of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) by promoting local technology deployment and enhancing productive capacity among households and small businesses.

In his remarks, the Executive Vice Chairman of NASENI, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, said the initiative is part of the agency’s broader Zero Carbon (ZeCo) Project aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting cleaner energy solutions across the country.

He explained that the distributed technologies are locally produced and tailored to meet Nigerian realities, adding that the programme is designed not only to support households but also to improve livelihoods and economic productivity.

Halilu urged beneficiaries to make proper use of the items, noting that the intervention is a step toward building a cleaner, healthier, and more economically resilient society.

Goodwill messages were delivered by key stakeholders, including the Chairman of the Presidential Implementation Committee on Technology Transfer, Mohammed Dahiru; the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Chris Osa Isokpunwu; the National Coordinator of AfCFTA, Patience Okala; and the Kano State Head of Service, represented by Salisu Mustapha.

The programme forms part of NASENI’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainable development through innovation, local manufacturing, and clean energy adoption.
