For Nigeria to achieve its desired development, there is need for the country to support indigenous scientists across the country.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, noted that the Nigerian scientists should get adequate support in the drive towards national development due to their centrality, especially in the age of technology.
He stated this when he received, on a courtesy call at the Presidential Villa, a delegation of the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development, a parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Health.
The delegation, led by its Director-General, Dr Obi Adigwe, made a short presentation to the Vice President on its projects which focused on three thematic areas: uterine fibroids, prostate issues, men’s health, and sickle cell disorder.
