Science and Tech: FG Promises To Assist Innovative NigeriansThe Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, says government will assist Nigerians with exceptional skills in technology and innovation. Dr Ogbonnaya made the pledge at a meeting with some scientists in Abuja on Thursday. He said that the decision is aimed at making Nigeria a non-consumer nation but one which can become a major hub for technology transfer. The meeting provided a platform for the display of an aeroplane locally made by some young Nigerians in the nation’s federal capital. With cheers and applause, excited Nigerians watched the aeroplane soar. The young aeronautic engineers took turns to speak on why they ventured into the enterprise, their challenges so far and how they hope to contribute their quota to national development. According to them, the innovation came to reality after years of technologically driven research. An obviously impressed Minister commended the engineers for their creativity and pledged that the government would be willing to support them. He also expressed confidence in the Nigerian youth and promised to support other Nigerians with similar innovations. Guests at the meeting also agreed with the Minister’s view that more support for its human resource would go a long way in making Nigeria stand tall in the comity of nations. www.channelstv.com/2016/03/03/science-and-tech-fg-promises-to-assist-innovative-nigerians/
