He further said that Nyasa Engineering Consultancy Limited wants to build a Film of professionals to have a community that will offer high technology and innovation solutions for social and economic development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI decided to start the Nyasa Engineering Consultancy Limited to create job opportunities to those that will be graduating from engineering programmes and giving job opportunities to those that are not currently working,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ngwira added that he was also inspired by the State Vice President, Dr Saulos Klaus Chilima, during the 2021 virtual Engineers Annual Conference on February 26, 2021 when Chilima talked about the need to manufacture durable products within the country to minimise importation of goods.<\/p>\n<p>He said the establishment of Nyasa Engineering Consultancy Limited will minimise importation of organic fertiliser, electrical appliances, irrigation equipment and other important equipment, adding this will cut importation costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNyasa Engineering Consultancy Limited will help Malawi in reducing costs of importing goods from outside the country because some of the things will be manufactured in the country,\u201d said Ngwira.<\/p>\n<p>One of the students at MUST who is also doing internship at Nyasa Engineering Consultancy Limited, Faith Mercy Banda, 19, said she is now able to make organic fertilisers, irrigation equipment, electrical appliances and many more.<\/p>\n<p>She therefore appealed to fellow students to be focused in their education and to dream of becoming celebrated engineers. \u201cNever underrate yourself, believe in yourself and be focused on your education so that you should become a celebrated engineer,\u201d she advised fellow young people.<\/p>\n<p>Some projects done by Nyasa Engineering Consultancy Limited are Wi-Fi Solar Moderns, Digitization of Mining Industry, Production of organic fertilizer NPK, Soil Science and engineering and Immunotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>Nyasa Engineering Consultancy Limited was registered in 2021 to offer high technology and innovative solutions for Social and economic development. The company has since registered more than 100 young people that have just graduated from the MUST faculty of engineering on internship as junior consultants<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
