The National Agency for Science and
Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has
Launched the first indigenous produced motorcycle, designed and manufactured by
the National Engineering Design and Development Institute (Nnewi), a
subsidiary of NASENI.

The 80C engine motorcycle was unveiled
in Anambra state earlier today.

The agency is
now asking federal government to ban the
importation of motorcycles, promising
that with financial assistance, they can
produce better motorcyles.

The Vice Chairman of NASENI,
Dr.Mohammed Haruna,
said:
"About 20 million Nigerians today
rely on motorcycles as a means of
transport and many unemployed
youths and men support their
families or earn a living from
running motorcycle as a
commercial venture. Imagine the
large number of jobs that will be
created if only Nigeria could close
her borders against the importation
of motorcycles and allow
entrepreneurs to invest in the
manufacturing of the parts
including production of the
motorcycle locally.
