Honourable Minister: Prof. Ita Okon Bassey Ewa.

The global economic landscape is experiencing rapid changes. Globalisation, especially is creating considerable new opportunities and new challenges. Its impact on national economies is driven by significant progress in S&T as exemplified by a plethora of breakthroughs in Biotechnology, Space Research, Energy Development among others.
It is therefore obvious that if Nigeria, given its natural endowments, is to successfully transform its economy and take her rightful place in the comity of nations, S&T and its integration in national socio-economic development processes must be accorded the highest priority.
