In a major step towards strengthening Nigeria’s agricultural sector, the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tiamin Rice Limited. The agreement is set to revolutionize irrigation infrastructure, enhance agricultural productivity, and contribute to national food security.
This partnership aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s food security agenda, focusing on sustainable agricultural practices that will improve crop yields, reduce dependence on food imports, and create employment opportunities. NASENI, known for its cutting-edge engineering solutions, will provide advanced irrigation technologies and innovative farming infrastructure to support large-scale rice production and other agricultural ventures.
According to NASENI officials, this collaboration will introduce modern irrigation systems that ensure efficient water management, allowing farmers to cultivate crops all year round. This is expected to significantly increase Nigeria’s rice output and reduce post-harvest losses, ultimately driving economic growth in the agricultural sector.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the CEO of Tiamin Rice Limited expressed confidence that the partnership would not only enhance food production but also strengthen Nigeria’s position as a key player in Africa’s rice industry. He emphasized that integrating NASENI’s technological expertise with Tiamin’s agricultural experience will result in a more efficient and productive farming system.
The move has been widely applauded by industry stakeholders, who see it as a crucial step towards achieving Nigeria’s goal of self-sufficiency in food production. As climate change and population growth continue to challenge food security, investments in innovative agricultural solutions like this will play a pivotal role in ensuring long-term sustainability.
With this agreement, NASENI and Tiamin Rice Limited have set the stage for a transformative shift in Nigeria’s agricultural landscape—one that promises increased productivity, economic empowerment for farmers, and a more resilient food system.
