Onu said this at a working visit to Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo on Monday in Benin city.
The minister noted that increased focus on solution driven research would help increase the commercialisation of scientific research results.
He called for active local production for all goods and services that are needed in Nigeria.

He pledged his administration’s assistance to the development of STI.
