As insecurity, poverty and underdevelopment soar in Nigeria, the African Council for Communication Education, ACCE, has called on the Federal government
The ACCE President, Professor Nnamdi Ekeanyanwu made the call during the 23rd Annual International Conference/AGM tagged ACCE/UNIZIK 2022, with the theme: “Communicating Science, Technology, and innovation in Times of Economic Distress, Terror, and a Pandemic.”
In a statement signed by the president and made available to journalists in Uyo on Thursday, the council advised the STI agencies to incorporate a communication component in solving the development crises in Nigeria. He described Nigeria as a country of many paradoxes with rich resources but still poor; with vibrant youths but unemployed, a population rich in diaspora exploits but still struggling at home adding that the high rate of terrorist attacks, religious extremism separatist agitations have compounded the deteriorating situation in the country.
He said, “The solutions to the distressed economic times spawned by years of political mismanagement and corruption as well as the debilitating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the troubling environmental/food/climate crises in Nigeria lies in Science, Technology and Innovation.”
