The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji, says space, science and technology will be crucial to achieving the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n
Nnaji said this during his maiden visit and facility tour of the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) in Abuja.<\/p>\n
The minister said the space agency had strategic roles in harnessing space, science and technology for national development and technological advancement.<\/p>\n
According to him, the giant strides achieved by the space agency resonated both in the country and in the diaspora and positioned the country as a key player in space exploration and research.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe present administration of Renewed Hope for Nigerians will undoubtedly enhance the activities of the agency\u2019s contribution to food security, security of lives, property, wealth creation and provision of employment.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpace is the ultimate platform for technological advancement and no nation can develop beyond its space capabilities and space exploration.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpace programme is not only for national pride but a significant indicator to Nigeria\u2019s position in the global and economic equation,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
He further stated that his visit to the space agency was to ensure he got information that would be critical in decision-making towards the attainment of his set objectives.<\/p>\n
The minister commended the leadership of the agency for the successes recorded, and the proactive efforts towards sourcing alternative funding through the commercialisation of research products and public-private partnerships.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Dr Halilu Shaba, the Director-General of NASRDA, appreciated the minister, saying the visit is a testament to the importance placed on the strategic role of science, innovation and technology in shaping the future.<\/p>\n
Shaba acknowledged the minister\u2019s visionary leadership style, adding that NASRDA will maximise his wealth of expertise and passion to advance Nigeria\u2019s space programmes.<\/p>\n
He, however, assured that the agency would consistently strive to push the boundaries of space exploration and satellite technology for the betterment of the nation.<\/p>\n
