Uche Ekwunife, said this on Wednesday in Enugu during an oversight visit to PRODA.<\/p>\n<p>PRODA had expressed readiness to commence local pencil production in 2016, when the management visited by the then Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu.<\/p>\n<p>However, six years after, the project had yet to be realised.<\/p>\n<p>Ekwunife attributed the challenge to the inability of government to provide the full financial support that would enable the institute to realise the goal.<\/p>\n<p>The senator said that in spite of the opinions and reservations of members of the committee, it was satisfied with the progress made on the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the major problems is that we don\u2019t have steady inflow of money, the envelope system where you will for instance have a N200 million worth of projects but given only N20 million is not helping matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPRODA has made some progress and we will encourage them by bringing legislative work to ensure the completion of the project,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Ekwunife said that it was the desire of the lawmakers to move Nigeria forward from a consumption based economy to a producer nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have the people with vast knowledge in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/07\/30\/naptip-deepens-partnership-with-actors-over-use-of-technology-in-crime-elimination\/\">technology<\/a> and science who can leverage on this to provide solutions to our local problems,\u201d Ekwunife said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the Director-General, PRODA, Mr Peter Ogobe, described the visit as auspicious.<\/p>\n<p>Ogobe said that it was good that the visit came at a time the country had renewed emphasis on the diversification of the economy aimed at economic recovery.<\/p>\n<p>The director-general commended the senator for her drive to make science, technology and innovation the live wire for the nation\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>Ogobe said that PRODA had benefitted from bills passed by the senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPRODA now has an improved budget through your activities and timely interventions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur research and development mandate has seen us impact on all geopolitical zones of the country,\u201d Ogobe said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation, has sought for improved funding for Projects Development Institute (PRODA), Enugu, toward actualising its goal of producing pencils locally.
