Overview

The National Centre for Agricultural Mechanisation Act (1990 No. 35) establishes the National Centre for Agricultural Mechanisation in Nigeria to accelerate agricultural mechanisation using local materials, skills, and facilities. The Act is divided into five parts: Part I establishes the Centre and its Management Board, detailing objectives such as adaptive research, development of low-cost equipment, standardisation, training, and dissemination of information. Part II outlines the Board's powers, including land use and delegation. Part III covers staff appointments (director, deputy, secretary, others) and pension provisions. Part IV deals with financial provisions (fund, accounts, estimates, reports). Part V allows the Minister to issue directives and make regulations. The Act includes interpretation clauses and a schedule on Board proceedings.
