Yabatech, NSA To Launch Young Nigerian Scientists To Moon by Nobody: 12:04pm On Apr 03, 2012 |
www.momentng.com/en/news/7199/yabatech-nsa-to-launch-young-scientists-to-moon.html YABA College of Technology (Yabatech) in partnership with Nigeria Space Agency (NSA) is fine-tuning modalities to launch young Nigerian scientists to the moon. This objective was made known during an interactive meeting between representatives of the NSA and the management of the college recently. At the meeting, Dr. Babatunde Rabiu and Prof. Christie Amory stood in for the Space Weather Initiative (SWI). Amory, in her address, stressed that the Space Weather Initiative is globally affiliated and recognised by the United Nations with the objective to promote and encourage scientists to work and conduct researches in their countries. According to her, weather characteristics exist within the space as to generate significant impacts on our environment. She promised to enlist Yaba College of Technology among other institutions to collaborate with the group and its affiliated bodies. According to her, the pact would cut across areas of space weather, space data gathering and interpretation by using the recently launched NIGERSAT and geographical information system. Dr. Rabiu Babatunde, however, assured the college on the Nigeria Space Agency support in the cooperation, in the areas of research materials, exchange and funding. In a related development, Yabatech will be organising a three day international conference billed to take place from April 18 to 20, 2012 and it would be targeted at assisting federal government to combat the challenges of global climate change. The conference, tagged ‘ Global Climate Change, Environmental Pollution and Food Security: Implication for African countries’ would be used to harness ideas, innovations and best practices capable of addressing global challenges resulting from climatic variation and environmental pollution in Africa. The conference is also designed to bridge the gap among the academia, farmers, policy makers, government parastatals and industries. During the conference, Prof. L.K. Narasmha Rao of the University of Tirupati, India would be leading the pack of international and national speakers. Among other speakers include Prof. Layi Fagbenle of the University of Ibadan, Dr. Halilu Ahmed Shaba of National Space Research and Development and Dr. Oluwole Ariyo of Allen University, United States of America among others. ‘FOR every good that you wish to preserve, you will have to sacrifice your comfort and your ease. There is nothing for nothing any longer.’ |

Have these guys day-dreaming about going to the moon ever heard of the Van Allen belt cosmic radiation? It will do them some good to know more about that layer. Even, the last "acclaimed" visit to the moon by USA in 1969 is now being scrutinized in the scientific and academic world. Naija like to talk big, sha. Well, it's good to make mouth. |
