The Executive Vice Chairman of NASENI, Professor Mohammed Sani Haruna, disclosed this on Friday after a private meeting with the President at the State House in Abuja.

He explained that the agency has begun the manufacturing of made-in-Nigeria helicopters and experts have been trained for mass production of the helicopters.

President Buhari had in 2021 approved that one percent of the federation allocation be allocated to NASENI to fund the agency’s activities and engineering innovations.
