“Because of the way we are focused, it is important that we must work with NASENI. The agency has capability and reach that no other institution in Nigeria has. The capacities and competencies they have are things we can leverage on, to get our own research efforts, especially in military technology development, ongoing.

Haruna said President Muhammadu Buhari had directed the agency to work closely with security agencies in the manufacturing of warfare equipment. He also commended the President for approving 0.5 per cent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product for research and innovation. “If we don’t work with other agencies such as DRDB, we wouldn’t know what is needed. We will learn from them and they also will learn from us. That is the way to move the nation forward,” he added.
