Professor Haruna said the inspiration for producing helicopters and other hardware equipment was gotten from Belgium and Indonesia, adding that personnel have been trained for mass production of the helicopters after understudying the experts.

He said the ones that have been successfully produced are awaiting approval of the Nigerian Aviation Authority and international approving body to fly. jamb results

Professor Haruna said President Buhari had given a go-ahead for the mass production of the helicopters after its approval, adding that the President also asked that the production site be moved to the Nigerian Aviation School in Zaria, Kaduna State, which already has most of the facilities, like a run-way among others.

The NASENI boss claimed the body has the capacity to produce bigger aircraft, although he was not specific if the prevailing security challenges bedevilling the country had inspired the production of the hardware.

Haruna also noted that the country was now proficient in the production of tricycles and has gone into partnership with Innoson motors for mass production.

The agency said N24 billion has been voted by the Federal Government to explore the mass production of smart solar panels to boost power supplies in the country.
