NEC Fails to Address State Police, Endorses NASENI Irrigation Pump for Food Security
The National Economic Council (NEC) failed to discuss the creation of state police during its recent session chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. Instead, the council endorsed the rollout of an irrigation pump developed by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) to enhance food security ahead of the 2025 dry season.
The solar irrigation pump aims to reduce costs for farmers, expand cultivation, and provide additional household power. Vice President Osinbajo highlighted the pump's potential to support food security efforts and mandated the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu, to work on funding modalities for NASENI.
This move is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Nigeria's agricultural sector.
