DR Adeleke Mamora, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) said nanotechnology and advanced material technology present immense opportunities for industries to upgrade their products.

The minister said this at the opening ceremony of the 6th Annual International Conference on Nanotechnology jointly organised by the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) in Abuja.

He said both technologies offered a powerful enabling platform that could lead to a wide spectrum of innovative products, helping to improve manufacturing processes and productivity.

He said: “This is in tandem with the Federal Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari as we transit from resource based to a knowledge economy.’’

Mamora reiterated that it was in recognition of the importance of nanotechnology that the ministry inaugurated the National Nanotchnology Steering Committee to develop the National Policy on nanotechnology.

He disclosed that this would guide  the development and use of the technology in Nigeria. (NAN)
