Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, says Nigeria’s sustainable development and economic growth depend on placing engineering, innovation and technology at the centre of national planning. Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday after attending the opening ceremony of the 34th Engineering event, he links engineering and industrial growth with broader economic transformation goals.
According to reports, Yilwatda argues that using engineering capacity alongside innovation and technology is essential for achieving national development objectives. The statements are framed as part of the APC’s broader vision for economic advancement, emphasizing how technical expertise and technological development can support industrial expansion.
The two outlets describing the event agree on the core message: the APC chairman highlights engineering as a key driver for Nigeria’s development agenda, and he stresses the importance of innovation and technology in economic planning. No additional policy details, figures, or specific program commitments are included in the available coverage.
