Prior to the emergence of Chief Uche Nnaji as the honorable minister of innovation, science and technology, Nigeria was seldom heard of in the comity of nations as a travel destination of interest for technology experts, egg heads in research and development, and industry leaders in biotechnology and renewable energy. Simply put, prior to emergence of Chief Uche Nnaji NWAKIBIE as the honorable minister, Nigeria's potentials for investment in Innovation, science and technology lacked visibility. Nigeria was regarded as export destination or trade destination for crude oil and import of Chinese finished products not a nation for innovation, science and technology.
The tides have turned. Chief Uche has created a new sensation. He has turned the formerly moribund ministry of science and technology to bustling, beehive of activities with chief executives of multi national corporations flying in and out of Nigeria to sign partnership agreements with his office to commence technology-based production and services in Nigeria.
It is no longer news that Nigeria is one of the most talked about nations for negative reasons. So how did Chief uche nnaji change the narratives to make Nigeria a new bride to foreign investors and captains of industries? How did he do this magic despite negative publicity against Nigeria by foreign mainstream media, one may ask?
To understand a mans capabilities, you must look into his antecedents and do a background check.
Prior to his appointment as honorable minister of science and technology, chief uche Nnaji is an astute businessman with decades of experience, track records of successes in multifaceted business chain spanning healthcare , oil and gas, agriculture, and real estate. He has a double degree in the core sciences and understands the business of innovation, science and technology. He is a humble, soft-spoken man of integrity, a good listener, and a business strategist with attention to detail in factual presentation of data on potentials for partnerships, growth, and profits accruable to varied industries. When you talk real business and real profits, capitalists listen.
To make the magic work, he understands the value of teamwork and staff motivation. Chief Uche brought new energy to the various departments, parastatals, and agencies under the ministry of innovation, science, and technology. His mantra is, " Innovate, solutions, rewards" His office has given more research grants than others. His office rewards productivity. Science and tech hubs will emerge in the six geopolitical zones to divest the energy of our teaming youths to sci-tech, the mega income earner of 21st century.
Chief Uche Nnaji is currently the most visible top official of the government within the big players in the Sci-Tech. His innovative mind has given a new face to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu. With the successes achieved through the Compressed Natural Gas conversion centers, Solar Panel PV production factory , Bio ethanol processing facility, , all season Tela maize, green hydrogen development partnership, surveillance and tactical operations Drones, Nigerian airports are now busy with activities
Chief Uche Nnaji, NWAKIBIE has received numerous recognitions and awards by leadership gurus and academics for innovation and excellence in leadership. One of such is the OKIBE LEADERSHIP AWARD
Chief Uche Nnaji did not stop at his long list of achievements in just one year. He has added another partnership . He wants our highways and forest reserves to be monitored using cost efficient drones. Nigerians will travel the highways again without fear. Nigerians will return to farmlands without fear.
His innovative mind has earned him the name UCHE NDI IGBO. He understands business. He knows how to get the job done. He knows how to lead people to achieve goals. He recently stretched out his hands to partner with technology firms involved in SMT TECHNOLOGIES. These are technology firms involved in the production of small, compact, low cost, robotic, precision soldering machines and accessories. Why? Chief Uche Nnaji wants ease of maintenance of electrical and electronic components like solar inverters in Nigeria.
Ministry of innovation, science and technology will be extending its hands to partner with polytechnics and engineering colleges to equip technicians and technologists with short term skills on precision soldering, test probes, imaging and inspection equipment and analyzers.
Indeed. NIGERIA IS GEARING UP TO CREATE BUSY HANDS, HIGH EARNERS
Chief Uche Nnaji NWAKIBIE has a Jewish mindset for pioneering innovation and a Chinese mindset for mass production and industrial development.
