Nigeria and other West African countries need to improve on science, technology and innovation in order to solve local problems and boost their economies, the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Adeleke Mamora, has said.
Mamora warned that the West African region cannot afford to remain behind in the global race for STI. Mamora, in his speech, noted that STI is at the heart of major developments of nations and that it has taken a preeminent place in deliberation and consideration for any well-meaning government. He insisted that Nigeria had taken the first big step by hosting the maiden edition of the FARI and any other ECOWAS nation hosting the next edition should improve on the FARI concept.
