Nigeria, India Sign Mou On Space Exploration by Amotolongbo(f): 6:04pm On Aug 14, 2020
Nigeria and India have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cooperate in the exploration of the outer space for peaceful purposes.

The agreement signing was witnessed by Nigeria’s Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu in Abuja, and India’s Minister of External Affairs, Shri V. Muraleedharan who participated in the event via a video link. Also present were the Director General of Nigeria’s National Space Research & Development Agency (NASRDA), Dr. Francis Chizea who signed the MoU earlier endorsed by his counterpart, the Chairman of the India Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Dr. K Sivan, with the ISRO Scientific Secretary, R. Umamaheswaran as a witness via a video link from its headquarters in Bengaluru.

The need for the MoU comes arises from the observation that in the past twelve years about forty-nine Nigerians participated in various short term Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme courses related to space exploration – including remote sensing, GIS and GeoInformatics conducted by the India Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradum; the Geological Survey of India Training Institute and the Center for Development of Advanced Computing, Noida in India. The MoU will strengthen India’s capacity building assistance to Nigeria.

It further provides for the exchange of scientific know-how, exchanges between academic institutions of both countries and joint symposiums and conferences that will benefit Nigeria’s agriculture, forestry, mining, connectivity and engender watershed development.

Both countries further agreed to sign a supplemental MoU on partnership in use of geospatial technology between the New Space India Limited (NSIL) under ISRO and the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Development and Connectivity.

This would make way for physics graduates. Many of us have been reduced to teaching.

I have always known that India is an African country that traveled abroad...




Unfortunately we can reach this type of understanding with South Africans as the are hell bent on killing us and Zimbabweans

That is if India doesn’t outsmart us like they did in that football match where we were defeated by 99 goals to 1.

GIS was one interesting course I did in 400L. Too bad practicality is non- existent in Nigeria.

Is it really so difficult to do what must be done? It’s not difficult at all, when you stop fighting against it. One little step will get you started, and once you’re started, you become interested and invested. Once you’re started, momentum begins to give you a push that becomes stronger with each effort. Instead of putting off what you know must be done, what if you could somehow get yourself to be positively enthusiastic about it? You absolutely can, because you can choose how you wish to feel about anything.The genuine satisfaction in your life comes when you know you’re making a difference. And whatever it is in your world that must be done is your opportunity to make that difference. Go beyond intending, go beyond planning, go beyond wishing, and go beyond saying you need to get it done. Dive in, go to work, make something happen and be the positive, dynamic difference that makes you feel alive.

Well, it might make sense on the long run, but this is a bit unnecessary at this point...

Anyways it's just an MOU, so no big deal.

You actually believed that story? lol ..


There's an MoU involved. It'll be achievable if both Indian and Nigerian government will not muscle the funds as usual. Or use this means to raise their pockets and render the project useless ...



India is as corrupt as Nigeria....

There are lots of discoveries to be made at the space....


Just like crude oil.



Discovering elements and other substance that can change the world will be a plus for Nigeria as many countries including US and UK have been exploring the space for years now.
