“Expect some products from NASENI’s R&D efforts in the market during the first quarter of 2024.
“We are going to do a national rebranding to have footsteps of NASENI products in every household in the country in the next few years. This is what Nigerians should expect. We are no longer going to sit back to watch endless research and prototypes, keeping them on the shelves.
