The Federal Government is set to deploy appropriate technologies to help surmount the security challenges confronting Nigeria, the Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, has said.
He disclosed this at the presentation of grants for journals and publications to the Nigerian Academies of Science, Engineering, Social Sciences, Letters and Education at his ministry’s headquarters in Abuja on Monday.
Onu said appropriate technologies would be deployed in the area of intelligence gathering, monitoring of suspects and development of platforms to effectively fight insecurity in Nigeria.
The minister said the challenge of insecurity had negatively impacted the socio-economic development of Nigeria, adding that farms and school activities had been grounded in some parts of the country.

In the midst of desperate international efforts to find a permanent solution to the debilitating Coronavirus pandemic, Nigeria and Nigerians have a cause to massage their ego as contributing somewhat to the search. Two Nigerian nationals – medical doctors – are in the news for their activism in scientific growth, part of which is directly related to the making of a COVID-19 vaccine presently thrilling the world.
But there is a gloomy side to the story, manifested in the absence of an enabling and conducive environment for Nigerians to shine more in solving world medical and scientific problems; and that the few Nigerians in the limelight now are there courtesy of facilities provided by other countries to which they migrated in pursuit of professional and career fulfilment.
