@calestous the ex president Obasanjo of Nigeria did a lot in science and tech. Unfortunately, he didnt initiate a national policy on science -
@isqilnajim I do not believe having a sectoral ministry is the best way to promote science for development. -
@calestous unfortunately that is what most of them are doing. NGOs ll have to step up their acts.Africa need more NGOs in science promotion
