Senate Committee on Science and Technology has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to accord attention to the development of science and technology to move the nation’s economy forward.
She pledged partnership between the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Senate Committee to adequately support the effort of the NBTI to actualize its mandate. “We all know the mandate of NBTI. They grow, nurture to incubate, monitor, supervise small businesses, for growth, employment generation, technology transfer and wealth creation. That is the summary of what the establishment is all about.“Having gone round to see what they are doing, I can testify that what they need is government support. If you lack finances to boost what you do, it will be difficult for you to stand.
