VP Shettima Commissions Borno’s 375 Tractors Refurbished By NASENI

Shettima commissions Borno’s 375 tractors refurbished by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI).

NASENI said that these 375 tractors were once unserviceable and later submerged during the recent floods in Borno State.

He noted that the restoration Programme to restore the over 47,000 of these assets will saved over N10 trillion.

The Vice President Kashim Shettima has commissioned 375 tractors, which were fully refurbished by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) under the National Assets Recovery, Refurbishment and Redeployment Project (Asset Restore Project).

The event was held on Sunday June 8th 2025 at the Borno State Agricultural Mechanisation Authority (BOSAMA) headquarters in Maiduguri.

While announcing the news on his official X account, the Vice Chairman/CEO of NASENI, Khali Sulieman Halilu, said that these 375 tractors were once unserviceable and later submerged during the recent floods in Borno State.

The NASENI boss noted that the restoration Programme to restore the over 47,000 of these assets will saved over N10 trillion instead of spending about N14 trillion to replace them.

“A study shows over 47,000 of these assets would cost N14 trillion to replace. But at NASENI, we asked a simple question: Why replace what we can restore at just 15–25% of that, saving over N10tr through local solutions.”

“This initiative is powered by homegrown Nigerian solutions and anchored on the Agency’s 3Cs operating principles: Creation, Collaboration, and Commercialisation.”

“The goal of the Asset Restoration Programme is to revive over 47,000 broken-down, yet recoverable, agricultural and law enforcement assets across the country,” NASENI added.
