For Nigeria to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) goals in the areas of Energy, Housing and ICT, the Federal Government needs to invest more in the study of Physics at the basic and tertiary levels, and to increase Physics research in higher institutions, the Nigerian Institute of Physics (NIP), has said.
Speaking at the 44th annual conference of the Nigerian Institute of Physics, held at Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Ikorodu in Lagos, Hycienth Aboh, president of the Institute, said Nigeria needs to invest more in research as neglecting adequate funding of teaching, research and other key engagements and activities involving Physics will be detrimental to growth.
