NASENI and Imose Rollout Made-in Nigeria Laptops, Tablets

Similarly, the 10.5-inch tablet strikes a balance between portability and functionality, making it an ideal choice for various use cases like document editing, drawing, video streaming or gaming.

The Executive Vice Chairman/ CEO of NASENI, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, said the partnership is “a strategic move which aligns with the Agency’s 3Cs principles of Collaboration, Creation and Commercialization to work with like minds. This is why we are working with Imose Technologies to bridge the technological gap by reducing importation bills.

“We are transforming the Agency by making it a central player in Nigeria’s technology revolution by adopting, adapting and domesticating cutting-edge technologies. At NASENI, we are building a national brand that going forward, every household in Nigeria will have one NASENI’s product or the other,” Halilu added.

Also, Chairman of Imose Technologies, Osayi Izedonmwen said, “For ten years, we have had a relentless focus on solving uniquely Nigerian problems by championing the local manufacturing of mobile and computer devices to improve lives and transform local institutions.”

Speaking further “We are proud that NASENI has chosen to partner us for the domestic production of laptops to bridge the digital divide and improve access to technology for education and work.”

The NASENI and Imose Technologies brands share similar values and beliefs of innovation and nationalism. It is envisaged that government ministries, departments, agencies, public institutions and private organizations and consumers can buy NASENI laptops by sending requests to sales@naseni.gov.ng.
