NATIONAL SPACE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (NASRDA)

Nigeria is a nation endowed with an abundance of human and natural resources. The present administration has recognised that if properly harnessed, these resources will enable Nigeria to take her rightful place as a major African and world leader. Central to the realisation of Nigeria’s potentials are the programmes of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology under the guidance of Honourable Minister Professor Turner T. Isoun.

The National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), tasked with implementing the National Space Policy, is a product of that broader vision of Nigeria’s technological potential, a vision that opens the door to a Nigeria greater by far than the one we know today.

Critics may call in to question the rationale of a country struggling with issues such as food, security and debt relief launching an ambitious space program. However, it is important to realize that unless Nigeria seeks to develop on all levels simultaneously, after successfully resolving the immediate problems, the country will still find itself technologically behind and underdeveloped.
