He lauded the contributions of partners that made the event of the last editions a success even as he tasked them to strengthen their support to make the 2023 edition even more successful.

Also speaking during the inauguration, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry Mrs Monilola Udoh, who was represented by the Director of Health, Biotechnology and Science in the ministry, Mr David Erabhahiemem, recognized the contributions of the private sector in nation building, stressing that their investment towards industrialization has been enormous.

“I particularly welcome and appreciate participants from the private sector. The government cannot do without the contribution of the private sector as seen in the developed countries. It is the private sector that utilizes the policy of the government to accelerate industrialization.

“I can assure you that the government needs the private sector and academia to fully get on board and ride on its policies and venture on demand driven research development and also to invest in viable products and services already invented or innovated,” she said.
