NIGERIAN SCIENTISTS LAUNCH ROCKETS
By J.K. Obatala
GUARDIAN NEWS
16 November 2008

OFFICIALS at the Centre For Space
Transport And Propulsion (CSTP), Epe,
Lagos State, have made a startling
revelation: Nigerian Scientists and
engineers have, for the past two years,
been building and launching experimental rockets – without foreign
assistance.

Coordinator of the Centre, Mr. Oluremi
A. Fashade, told The Guardian last
week that at least nine test-firings had
occurred. The rockets are launched from a testing range near the Lagos State University,adjacent to the Lagos Lagoon.

For the first time ever, Fashade, an
engineer, talked openly about the
Centre’s formerly top secret rocket
research, which is being carried out
under the auspices of the National
Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA).

Among other things, he said that the
Centre would, in time, graduate to
bigger and more complex craft, capable
of launching satellites and eventually
humans into space.

He said that the NASRDA was acquiring a new launch site on a remote island in
the Atlantic, to accommodate full-sized
space vehicles. http://beegeagle./2013/04/30/world-exclusive-made-in-nigeria-rocket-launch-at-the-centre-for-space-transport-and-propulsion-propshenry-a-beegeagles-blogger/

They will soon start saying it is misplaced priority.

It was also revealed that it was done without any form of foreign assistance. We are talented.
