The Minister spoke before the commissioning of African Centre of Excellence, at the Centre’s First Annual Lecture, titled ‘’Research, Innovation and Sustainable Development’, held at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State.
His words; “Africa must be an active player in the fourth industrial revolution. There is no time for us to continue to follow other developed countries we must do the linkage between research and innovation, we must admit that the success rate is very high. Don’t anticipate that any outcome will lead to innovation and innovation will lead to sustainable development.
