I congratulate them for these merit-based awards that bear testament to their hard work and visible contributions to science, engineering, and technology. Their achievements should remind us of the critical need of investing in education, in the nation, as I have always maintained, for our national development. Nigeria is endowed with millions of diversely talented youths whose greatness can only be nurtured by investment in education.

Once again, I congratulate these great men and women for making our nation proud, as we look forward to their contribution to our national development.

A New Nigeria is possible. -PO
