“I want you to go home with these words: no nation from the beginning of time has ever become great without embracing science and technology.

“The U.S. is the greatest power in the world; the largest economy, the strongest military and the U.S. has the highest diplomatic potential that she has used in the maintenance of peace all over the world.

“But the U.S. was able, is able and will continue to do so, so long as it is leading in science and technology.”

He further explained that science would help Nigeria to achieve great goals.
