“In the world of the 21st century, cri6cal issues related to Science and Technology confront every na6on…Today, no na6on that wants to shape informed policies and take effec6ve ac6on on such issues can be without its own independent capacity in Science and Technology (S&T)”
FUNDAMENTAL VALUES • Every na4on needs to harness her human and material resources
for the development/growth of her ci4zens and her environment.
• Value-‐addi4on to the natural resources in development by developing technology.
• Inves4ng in S&T capacity is not a luxury for the rich; it is an absolute necessity for poor countries that wish to become richer
• The 4me to start inves4ng and building STI capacity is when you are poor
• In today’s rapidly changing global economy, the cri4cal economic development issue is no longer whether countries should build STI capacity but what type of capacity to build and how to build it, given each country’s economic constraints and star4ng point
Link between education and growth Lessons from Asia
The USA now leads the world in spending on research and development -- estimated to reach $328.9 billion the year 2005 from both government and private sources.
One U.S. chemist's or engineer's salary is enough to hire five Chinese chemists or 11 Indian engineers. In the year 2005, China graduated 500,000 engineers; India, 200,000; and North America, 70,000.
The U.S. trade balance in high-technology goods between US and China fell from $33 billion in the black in 1990 to $24 billion in the red in 2004.
• For Global Compedveness, the use of Computer Numerially Controlled (CNC) Machines has become the order of the day. Most industrial machinery in Nigeria is imported.
• This is because, at present, the EI required for producing these machines are not in existence. Efforts are therefore under way to have a sustainable system for encouraging a progressive increase in industrial machinery content.
• This will require an understanding with manufacturers and industrialists.
• Projects can start with local producdon of spare parts and gradually graduate into the design and fabricadon of individual units of process lines and complete process lines.
• NASENI is already working with some industries towards achieving this goal.
HIGH POWER COMPUTING (HPC) LABORATORY • NASENI hosts 3 of the 5 HPC Labs in Africa.
• One each at NASENI HQ, NEDDI-‐ Nnewi and PEDI-‐ Ilesha
• The HPC is a supercomputer with the task of addressing the need of geang solu4ons to complex Scien4fic and Engineering challenges encountered in research ins4tu4ons as well as the manufacturing sector.
• With mul4ples of processors embedded in it, the HPC helps to reduce compu4ng 4me on simula4ons, increase the number of possible simula4ons per day
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC PRODUCTION: THE SMT AND PCB • Electronics assembly originally used point-‐to-‐point wiring and no substrate at all. The first
semiconductor packages used radial leads, which were inserted through holes of the single-‐sided circuit boards already used for resistors and capacitors.
• Then dual in-‐line packages (DIPs) were invented with two rows of leads. These packages could be wave soldered along with other components such as resistors, capacitors, vacuum tubes, or vacuum tube socket leads.
• The present methods of manufacturing convendonal electronic assemblies have essendally reached their limits as far as cost, weight, volume and reliability are concerned.
• • Surface Mount Technology (SMT) makes it possible to produce more reliable assemblies at reduced
weight volume and cost. SMT is used to mount electronic components on the surface of printed circuit boards or substrates. Convendonal technology, by contrast, inserts components through holes in the board. This decepdvely simple difference changes virtually every aspect of electronics: design, materials, processes, and assembly of component packages and substrates.
MECHATRONICS • Mechatronics is the synergedc integradon of mechanical engineering with
electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacturing of industrial mechanical and electronic products and processes.
• Two major processes in Mechatronics are:
• Factory Automadon
• Process Automadon
• The prototype Engineering Development Insdtute (PEDI), Ilesa has been designated the FESTO Authorised Centre for Training in Mechatronics in Nigeria and indeed Sub-‐Sahara Africa.

Paradigm Shil
• Need for a Paradigm Shi\ to achieve;
• Target Driven STI ac4vi4es for Goods and Services • To produce high quality goods that can compete in interna4onal market. This is only possible through the adop4on of Advanced Manufacturing Technology processes.
• To produce World Class researchers and publica4ons

THE PROTOTYPE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE, ILESA
The Prototype Engineering Development Ins4tute (PEDI), Ilesa is the latest of NASENI ins4tutes with a mandate to “Develop and Provide Rapid Prototyping Services and Producdon of Engineering Soludons to SMEs Using Advanced Manufacturing Technology”.
Thus, by far one of the most formidable NASENI interven4on in the South West is the establishment of the Prototype Engineering Development Ins4tute (PEDI) Ilesa.
PEDI was born out of the vision to create a totally “digitally-‐driven” design, produc4on, and product support environment with a focus on developing manufacturing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME’s) in Nigeria to compete favourably with imported products thereby opening an environment for crea4vity, innova4on, job crea4on and consequently wealth crea4on in Nigeria.
PEDI’s mission therefore involves “the development of engineering prototypes and their produc4on systems and the transfer of these to private sector satellite industries”.
THE ENGINEERING MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE, AKURE
The Engineering Materials Development Ins4tute (EMDI), Akure, has a mandate to “undertake research and development works into processes and systems for the conversion of raw and semi-‐processed matetrials into engineering materials of various types, shapes and sizes for applica4on in machinery and equipment produc4on, and the transfer of the technology so developed to SMEs”
EMDI is equipped with both conven4onal lathe and milling machines supported with advanced manufacturing facili4es including
• Ver4cal Machining Centre • Electro Discharge machine • Numerically Controlled Surface Grinding Machine • CNC Lathe and Milling Machines of various capaci4es • Induc4on Furnace • Rotary Furnaces
Specialized Centres at EMDI with up to date facili4es are: • Foundry Technology Training and Produc4on Centre • Advanced Materials Tes4ng Laboratory • Polymer Research and Product Development Centre • Nanotechnology Research and Development Centre
CURRENT EXPANSION OF NASENI INTERVENTION IN THE SOUTH WEST
NASENI is currently involved in the following States for the Expansion of the interven4on and collabora4on efforts:
• ONDO STATE A survey of Fast Moving Parts in Equipment Used for Grains, Cassava and Flour Milling in Ondo
State has been carried out by NASENI. The Execu4ve Governor of the State is already hos4ng the Agency for plans of NASENI projects that creates employment, human capacity development and youth empowerment, impact on the ci4zenry and overall human and, technical and capital development.
• EKITI STATE The same survey is currently being carried out in the State. The State Government has also
commissioned the Agency to infrastural inspec4on of the Technical Colleges for expansion of the AMT programme while other projects have been earmarked for the State.
• OSUN AND OYO STATES Thesame survey as that of Ondo State is being carried out in these Staes. There are currently
linkage efforts with the Governments for the expansion programmes. These efforts are planned for the other states of the region with PEDI, Ilesa and EMDI, Akure as anchors for
SURVEY OF FAST MOVING PARTS IN EQUIPMENT USED FOR GRAINS, CASSAVA AND FLOUR MILLING IN ONDO STATE
The Survey of Fast Moving Parts in Equipment used for Grain, Cassava and Flour Milling in Ondo State was carried out to assess the mills, iden4fy cast and other spares normally required for the mills and program the viable engineering infrastructure and facility to significantly improve the technological capability of Ondo State.
From the survey conducted in the eighteen (18) LGAs, the data collected from the field are as summarized below:
• A total of 2,632 All Purpose Grinding Machines were assessed from all of the 18 local government areas of the state.
• A total of 106 All Purpose Milling Machines were assessed from 5 of the 18 local government areas.
• A total of 143 Manual Hand Grinding Machines were assessed from 2 of the 18 local government areas.
• A total of 851 Cassava Gra4ng Machines were assessed from 13 of the 18 local government areas.
• A total of 303 Palm Fruit Digesters were assessed from 11 of the 18 local government areas
• A total of 161 Palm Nut Crackers were assessed from 4 of the 18 local government areas
• A total of 304 Flour Rolling Machines were assessed from 5 of the 18 local government areas • A total of 1no. Maize Polishing Machine was assessed from 1 of the 18 local government
areas
• A total of 38 Rice Milling Machines were assessed from 2 of the 18 local government areas
The conclusion of the survey is that:
• Cast spares for the surveyed equipment are scarce in the local market
• More of the machines are desperately needed in many of the areas, provision of which would put extreme pressure on the local spares market
• Close to 5,000 tonnes of cast spares will be required by these mills alone in Ondo State at present level of opera4on
• Gainful employment for ci4zenry thereby sa4sfying the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the 7 – Point Agenda of the Federal Government of Nigeria will be achieved.
This survey is currently being carried out in the 33 Local Governments in Oyo State, 30 Local Governments and 1 Area Office in Osun Stae, and the 16 Local Governments in Eki4 State.

CONCLUSION • The transforma4on of cra\ to manufacturing has been possible
historically as a consequence of the infusion of technology. It becomes impera4ve, in order to again sustainable development, that SETI managers need to adopt best prac4ces, learn how to apply scien4fic knowledge vigorously to developmental issues, use ICT op4mally, embrace AMT and develop the relevant human capacity to meet current developmental demand.
• There should be AMT centres in all the Local Governments in the South West, with 100kg and 250 kg rotary furnaces along with CNC Table Top Lathe and Milling Machines.
• All the small AMT-‐Cs would be linked with more advanced facili4es at PEDI, Ilesa, EMDI Akure and the AMT-‐C, Rifus Giwa Poly, Owo for more complex complex components and opera4ons.
• This is the roadmap for fast tracking technical and technological advancement of Eki4 State.
