2021 Tech Expo Can’t Be Like A Trade Fair – Ogbonnaya Onu

The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu has come out to say that the 2021 edition of the Science, Technology and Innovation EXPO will not be like a trade fair.

He recently revealed this at a world press conference on the 2021 Science, Technology and Innovation expo held in Abuja.

According to him, it will be convergence for ideas into products and services, and the event will be unique and valuable in the sense that it would be a platform for inventors, innovators and investors to come together to interact on how to turn ideas into goods and services.

He added that the gathering will also commercialize research results as a key to the nations drive towards economic.

His words, “The tech expo is performing very important and helpful role in our diversification plan, making sure the enormous resources are exploited which if well harnessed will be beneficial to the country.”

“We are using this programme to ensure our economy is no longer commodity based but knowledge driven, build factories, create jobs, wealth for both individuals and the country. When achieved, it will make us globally competitive and relevant.”

‘Nigeria is well endowed with mineral resources which if well harnessed would be of great economic benefits to the nation.”

“We are convinced that with hard work and determination, we will achieve an economy that is knowledge-based and innovation-driven, making us more productive and competitive to achieve a bright future for our dear nation.”
