Apologies for the late reply guys....hmmmm true that I totally agree with you NDprudent. I mean not even drug discovery alone. I have not heard about one science program in Nigeria in which young people are properly challenged to create something that will be beneficial for the society. yh investing on young people definitely changes the whole scenario.
Coolabman yh I understand what you mean but then with the 'misinformation' bit,it all comes down to ensuring that almost everyone gets properly informed. I mean its quite common in every country; every individual that's not scientifically involved in the production of something tends to question it. So it is the right of the people to ask questions and it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to convince people that it won't affect them in any negative way. so I'd say if people who are inventing the products are able to convince the majority we can probably break that barrier (not everyone will still agree but that's a common trait in every society).
Mackhunter77 with the low motivation I'd say it probably comes down to empowering our youths again cos Nigeria is a country blessed with multiple talents that need to be explored. Come to think of it do you guys think there is an international barrier as well. Also are our graduates properly trained for the positions? or are they just pushed out as graduates?

The growth of biotechnology companies in Nigeria can be considered stagnant. From my little research, some of the factors that have contributed to less or no growth are electricity, political gain. Are these the only setbacks or are we just not investing right? What's your take on the matter?
