Our target is to unleash the creativity of our young people and in doing this, we shall establish and create at various points in the country innovation hubs and back them up with startup funds. The ultimate goal is to guarantee gainful employment, encourage productivity, attract foreign investment and strengthen the Naira.

“Through Science and Technology, we shall reposition our mode and factors of production to fit into the fourth industrial revolution. This shall affect other sectors such as security, education, infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture and so on.”
