Mrs Kate Isa, President of the Scientific Products Association of Nigeria (SPAN)
Mrs Kate Isa, the President of the Scientific Products Association of Nigeria (SPAN), has called for the science curricula in the country to be updated.
Addressing newsmen about the SPAN Innovate 2025 conference and exhibition, she stated, “You cannot have sustainable development without science. It does not happen anywhere else in the world. If Nigeria must compete globally and become genuinely self-sufficient, science and laboratory growth must be at the forefront in policy, investment, and national planning.”
Isa stressed that the country needs to improve its curricula, as students no longer use analogical knowledge since the world has become digital.
She added that SPAN has “set up an oncology laboratory within Covenant University to facilitate research into genetic causes driving prostate cancer among Black men.”
