The Executive Vice Chairman/CEO of NASENI, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, has reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to accelerating agricultural innovation and strengthening Nigeria’s food security during an inspection visit to the ongoing construction of the NASENI Agric Incubation Centre at Bayero University, Kano (BUK).
The visit underscores NASENI’s deliberate investment in modern, technology-driven agriculture as a catalyst for productivity, youth empowerment, and economic resilience. Halilu noted that the Centre represents a critical pillar in the Agency’s strategy to equip young Nigerians with hands-on, industry-relevant skills capable of transforming the agricultural value chain.
According to him, the Agric Incubation Centre is structured to bridge the longstanding gap between research and practical application by converting academic knowledge into scalable, commercially viable agricultural solutions. He stressed that innovation must move beyond theory into measurable outcomes that directly impact farmers, agripreneurs, and communities.
The EVC further emphasized that NASENI will continue to deploy technology, foster strategic partnerships, and build institutional capacity to reposition agriculture as a modern, attractive, and economically rewarding sector—fully aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
