The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has empowered 1,200 beneficiaries in Kabo Local Government Area of Kano State under Phase III of its NASENI Sustainable Empowerment Programme (NSEP).
The intervention combines technological innovation with practical economic support as part of NASENI’s broader efforts to promote cleaner energy solutions, improve household livelihoods and strengthen economic resilience at the grassroots.
Unveiling the programme in Kabo town on Saturday, the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NASENI, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, said the initiative was significant because it aligned with the agency’s commitment to renewable and cleaner energy solutions.
Halilu said the home based intervention was designed to promote energy efficiency, reduce dependence on traditional cooking fuels and support Nigeria’s transition towards a low carbon and net zero future.
“At NASENI, we believe the energy transition must not be something we only discuss at conferences. It must reach our homes, our communities and our people,” he said.
The NASENI chief executive said the support package was designed to provide immediate assistance to beneficiary households while offering additional financial support capable of stimulating small scale economic activities and improving livelihoods.
He said the programme was also consistent with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, particularly the administration’s focus on ensuring that economic growth, technological advancement and sustainable development translate into tangible benefits for Nigerians at the grassroots.
Halilu urged the 1,200 beneficiaries to make effective use of the items and support provided, stressing that the intervention should be viewed as a tool for improving household welfare and building greater economic resilience.
Some beneficiaries, in separate remarks, commended the Federal Government for the intervention, expressing hope that the cleaner cooking solutions would help reduce the health risks associated with traditional cooking methods.
The programme forms part of NASENI’s wider efforts to expand access to technology driven solutions and support sustainable economic development across communities in Nigeria.
