Scientific and Technological Researches: An Elixir for Sustainable Development of a Nation

Abstract

Scientific/technological research outputs (in the form of new technologies) have become the principal tools for meeting the world ever-expanding needs for food, shelter, housing and equitable access to health-care services. This paper posits that scientific or technological research is an activity that will allow a sovereign nation to move from her present undesirable process of growth and development onto sustainable economic growth and development paths that backup sustainable financial investments.
