”We will harness their energy and their talents to make Nigeria achieve true greatness,” he said.

”This remains my aim for Nigerians,” he stressed, noting that Nigerians at home and abroad have always demonstrated remarkable ingenuity and inventiveness and with the right environment, and policy framework, there is no limit to how far Nigerian innovation can go.
”A prime example of an outstanding Nigerian is Mal. Jelani Aliyu, who is now Director-General of the National Automatic Design and Development Council. ”Malam Jelani designed the General Motors of America’s leading auto brand the Chevrolet Volt.
