BEVERLY HILLS, March 14, (THEWILL) – Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will on Monday kickstart the Science and Technology Expo at the Eagles Square, in Abuja.

The expo, with the theme, “Science, Technology and Innovation for Economic Recovery and Sustainability Amidst COVID-19 Challenges,” is the brainchild of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The Vice-President will represent President Muhammadu Buhari at the event which would hold between Monday, 15th–Friday, 19th March 2021.

Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, said the essence of the expo is “to find ways to commercialize innovations into products and services that the country needs and in turn provide jobs and end poverty.”

“We are expected to see so many people who took innovations, developed by research institutions in the country to start up small and medium scale enterprises in the past years.

“Mr. President wants to make sure that all those who want to work, have the best chance of doing so and this can be done through, science, technology and innovation. It is good to note that the expo is not a trade fair ground where goods are bought and sold but a place to showcase ideas to investors willing to develop such innovations”, he added.

The planner of the expo, Mike Okokon, said all is set to ensure that the event is held with full adherence to all COVID-19 protocols.
