Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of Science and Technology, said the deployment of science, technology and innovation (STI), will help Nigeria overcome many of its major challenges especially insecurity.
Onu said this during a working visit by the Senior Executive Course 43 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic studies (NIPSS), to his office on Tuesday in Abuja.
