The competition offered a platform for functional interaction between investors and research institutions. Among the locally made hardware that earned the NAF its first position at the competition include the unmanned aerial vehicle otherwise called ‘Gulma’. Others are the multi-purpose armament store lifting equipment, security control doors, GSM-base intruder detector and alarm system.
The outstanding performance of the NAF can be traced to recent efforts towards promoting self-reliance. In pursuance of this objective, the NAF has signed Memorandum of Understanding with 23 indigenous universities, polytechnics and research institutions towards building capability locally through research and development. You are please requested to disseminate this information in your mass media for the awareness of the general public.
