The
intellectual community and the general public are hereby invited to the lecture
no.1 of the Science Nigeria Lectures 2017
which comes under the distinguished chairmanship of His Excellency, Dr.
Ogbonnaya Onu, the Honourable Minister of Science and Technology, and holds
Wednesday July 12, 2017 at the Management Science Hall, University of Abuja, by
10am prompt.
The
Science Nigeria Lectures is an effort
towards not only promoting the works and contributions of Nigerian scientists,
but also in interfacing them with the Nigerian public. The lecture strives to
promote public understanding of science, inculcate the much-needed scientific
culture in the lives of Nigerians, and at the same time, generate and sustain
interest in the sciences in public domain. Through these lectures, many become
aware of the exploits of Nigerian scientists in the global scientific arena.
Again, through these lectures, many young people in the Nigerian society become
not only inspired in pursuing careers sciences, but also in making enduring
contributions in them.
The
Science Nigeria Lectures is also another way of celebrating Nigerian scientists
who have had a minimum of 50 years
of outstanding research contributions in the sciences, and as such, making them
stand as role models for generations following. It is a way in which these
distinguished scientists give to science and the society at large, the benefits
of their experience and impressions. It is indeed a celebratory intellectual
harvest.
