Former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for directing the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) to train 100 Bayelsa youths and also for making economic self-reliance a priority of his government.
This was even as he said that Nigeria’s underdevelopment is tied to the absence of science and technology culture, adding that the country must invest more on Science Technology and Innovation( STI).
According to a statement issued by the Deputy Director, Information and Protocol of NASENI, Olusegun Ayeoyenikan, Jonathan said Buhari’s focus on infusing engineering techniques training to empower the youths was a right step in the right direction.
