Nigeria’s government will ensure that the additional satellites are placed well. According to Ogbonnaya Onu at the recent Space Dialogue and National Media Conference 2020, the Science and Technology Ministry will continue to create its best work to make sure that the satellites are put in orbit. So, it can help in the direction the nation is going.
The report says that the government believes that there will be a transformation in the Nigerian economy from a resource-based to a knowledge-based economy if they utilize the ability of science and technology.
The Minister of Science and Technology also added that Nigeria faces difficulties in competing with another country if it does not utilize space science and technology. Nigeria should try its best to be the best in the world, and this is achievable. Nigeria is prepared to make NASRDA compete with the best space agencies in the world.
And it will happen through the implementation of five executives policies that aim to support the development of the Science and Technology Ministry.
The country has presented five additional regulations in the last five years, and if implemented, especially the EO 005, Nigeria will achieve what China has achieved in a short time.
