Dr. Tijani highlighted the importance of technology in driving development and solving complex problems at both national and global levels. He underscored that for Nigeria to progress, it is essential to focus on and enhance three key sectors: agriculture, manufacturing, and services. These sectors, he noted, have been fundamental in measuring the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country since 1980.JAMB Result
