Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, says that Nigeria

that we have. Space technology is very important to protect our national

All the things that is needed is in the budget that
has just being passed and from this year we will commence the
implementation of the programme that we have and because of the
importance of space to the wellbeing of the nation, we will work very
hard to launch a Nigerian astronaut before 2030“he said
