Chairman of the Committee, Aminu Jaji made the commitment on Thursday in Abuja during the inaugural meeting of the Committee.

While urging the Committee to focus on how to address the ecological challenges like desertification in the north, and erosion in the South East among others in different parts of the country, the chairman charged its Committee to come up with innovation to tackle it. In another development, the House of Representatives has said it will monitor and ensure the proper utilisation of funds from international partners and other donor agencies for the development of science and technology in the country.

Giving details of the committee’s work Bagos said “We will engage with relevant stakeholders, including the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology, agencies under the ministry, and Nigerian experts in STI living in the diaspora. These sessions will help us identify areas of legislative intervention and enhance our oversight functions.

“A study tour will be organized to learn from the legislative committees on STI in select nations, aiming to enhance our knowledge and apply international best practices in maximising Nigeria’s STI potential.
