The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) has pledged to boost post-harvest innovations through solar storage and mobile cold-chain solutions to reduce food loss and support food security.

Margaret Oguntala, President of NSE and Chairman-in-Council, announced this at a news conference for the 2024 NSE annual conference in Abuja on Tuesday.

It is themed ‘Pioneering Engineering Solutions to Nigeria’s Climate and Food Security Challenges’.

Oguntala stated that the gathering of over 6,000 engineers aims to tackle key challenges in Nigeria’s food security and climate resilience through transformative engineering solutions.

“We will explore advancements in agricultural machinery, such as automated tractors and precision seeders, to boost productivity.

“We will also discuss efficient irrigation systems powered by sensor-based technologies, along with renewable energy solutions like mini-grid solar installations that foster energy independence for rural farming.

“Additionally, we are excited to introduce postharvest innovations, including solar-powered storage and mobile cold-chain solutions to minimise food loss across the agricultural value chain”.

Oguntala noted there would be sessions on precision agriculture, where tools like remote sensing and soil health mapping help farmers maximise yields and optimise resources.

She added that NSE is exploring climate-resilient crops and early weather alert tools to safeguard food systems in an unpredictable environment.

“This event is not just a conference but a stage set for high-impact collaborations, where Nigeria’s future in climate resilience, food security, and engineering innovation will be shaped.

“The Opening Ceremony on Nov. 19 will be attended by President Bola Tinubu as Distinguished Guest of Honour”.

Oguntala noted key attendees, including Agriculture Minister Abubakar Kyari, Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde, and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike as Chief Host.

She said NSE is joining the 2024 World Quality Day, themed “Quality: From Compliance to Performance,” to reinforce its commitment to ISO 9001:2015 certification and global best practices.

“We have championed engineering solutions to mitigate climate impacts on workers’ health, such as heat-stress monitoring and resilient infrastructure that withstands extreme weather.

“These measures reflect our duty of care to the profession and the broader public, contributing to the resilience of communities and industries alike”.

Oguntala affirmed that NSE remains dedicated to driving progress, fostering innovation, and creating a sustainable future for Nigeria.

She emphasised that the conference marks a significant step forward, as engineers work to pave the way for a new era of engineering excellence that uplifts communities and strengthens the nation.
