By Emmanuel Elebeke
The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, says over 2500 research products by Nigerian start-ups have now flooded the Nigerian markets.
He said the start-ups were trained and nurtured by the National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI), an agency of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology.
Onu made this known this when he was conferred with an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Science during the 5th Convocation ceremony of the Gregory University, Uturu, Abia State at the weekend.
He called for the teaching of science and mathematics in indigenous languages early in life to boost learning and understanding of young Nigerians.
