Former President Goodluck Jonathan has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for directing the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure to train 100 Bayelsa youths, and for making economic self-reliance a priority in his government.

The former President said Nigeria’s underdevelopment is tied to the absence of science and technology culture.  

Jonathan said this, as the special guest of honour at the opening ceremony of NASENI Skill Acquisition Training and Youth Empowerment Programme on modern methods of electrical installation and maintenance, held at Otuoke, his hometown.
