“Science and Technology is the only way to develop our nation and government should ensure that youths are encouraged to dwell more in skillful careers in order to explore the numerous opportunities created by industrialists in Nigeria. We are exporting skills and paying high when we have many youths who have studied courses that are not relevant to industrialisation.
