The body, National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has unveiled her first motorcycle produced in Nigeria by a Nigerian, designed and manufactured by the National Engineering Design and Development Institute (Nnewi), a subsidiary of NASENI.
They launched the 80C engine motorcycle in Anambra state today. However the agency has told the Federal Government to ban the importation of motorcycles
The Vice Chairman of NASENI, Dr.Mohammed Haruna, said:
"About 20 million Nigerians today rely on motorcycles as a means of transport and many unemployed youths and men support their families or earn a living from running motorcycle as a commercial venture. Imagine the large number of jobs that will be created if only Nigeria could close her borders against the importation of motorcycles and allow entrepreneurs to invest in the manufacturing of the parts including production of the motorcycle locally.'''
