The Nigerian Government has announced that it is sending its first citizen into space.
The Director General of the National Space Research and
Development Agency, NASRDA, Mathew Adepoju, made this known at a press
conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
He said that the government had signed a Memorandum of
Understanding, MoU, with the Space Exploration and Research Agency, SERA, to
facilitate the ambitious venture.
According to him, “This collaboration, which is coming to
the country, marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s 25th anniversary of
Space Exploration journey and opens new opportunities for scientific research
and technological advancement.”
Meanwhile, recently, NASRDA had
decried the lack of patronage for homegrown technology to fight maritime
insecurity.
The agency said that 90 per cent of security challenges
facing the maritime sector in the country can be tackled by Geo-Stationary
Satellite.
