\nIt was gathered NASENI has equally produced mobile sprayers, which are to be used to disinfect Nigerian cities and homes.<\/div>\n

\nA notice by NASENI spokesman, Segun Ayeoyenikan, on Monday, disclosed that Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, would unveil the devices on Tuesday (today).<\/div>\n
