FG urged to adopt Nanotechnology in science, technology development – The Nation Newspaper

Hajiya Fatima Madugu, the Niger Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology on Monday urged the Federal Government to adopt Nanotechnology in the development of science and technology sector.

Madugu, who made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Minna, noted that Nanotechnology if adopted, would impact positively on industries and all spheres of the society.

She said that Nanotechnology was the application of extremely small things that could be applied across all fields of sciences such as chemistry, biology, physics, material science and engineering.

The technology will offer better built, long lasting, cleaner, safer and smarter products for the home, communication, medicine, transport, agriculture industry as well as the power sector.

Imagine a technology that can be used to deploy a medical device that travels through the human body to seek out and destroy small clusters of cancerous cells before they can spread.

This will be wonderful, she said.

According to her, understanding and utilising Nanotechnology will offer not only better products but vastly improved manufacturing process.

Nanotechnology is the next industrial revolution. It may be only a matter of time.

The real meaning of Nanotechnology will be clearly defined by the time building of products becomes cheap as the copying of files in a computer, she said.

Nanotechnology is the use of techniques and tools being developed today to make complete and high-performance products.
