Rusty gold in Nigeria: Untapped advances in nanotechnology
Abstract
Significance:
Reasons for the slow pace of nanotechnology research in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, are explored, given Nigeria’s huge human and natural endowments, and solutions are proffered to address the seemingly lagging outlook of the country in nanotechnology. This Commentary is relevant to all critical stakeholders at national, regional and international levels to mobilise efforts to advance the course of nanotechnology in Nigeria and beyond.
