Met with World Bank ACReSALNigeria team today. Fast-track access to National Space Research and Development Agency’s satellite archive New capacity-building courses for EO data NASRDA to host national hackathon on climate resilience Space data, real impact 🌍 #NASRDA #ACRESAL #SatelliteData #ClimateAction



Opened a 3-day West Africa workshop on #CropWatch—using EO satellites to drive food security. With @ANSO_org & Chinese Academy of Sciences, we’re establishing the region’s first CropWatch Centre at National Space Research and Development Agency. Space data 👉 smarter farming 👉 Zero Hunger. 🛰️🌾 #NASRDA #SDG2


Productive meeting with UN DSG Amina J Mohammed at #COPUOS. Space tech is key to achieving the #SDGs. NASRDA is committed. 🚀🌍 #NASRDA #SpaceForDevelopment #InternationalCooperation #AfricaInSpace



Great to meet with FRSC, NIGERIA to discuss how space tech can power smarter traffic systems, real-time vehicle tracking, & data-driven road planning. From RFID to geospatial mapping, we’re bringing innovation to the highways. #FRSC #RoadSafety #SmartMobility #Space4Development



Hosted World Food Programme at National Space Research and Development Agency HQ to strengthen collaboration on food security. By combining WFP’s early warning systems with NASRDA’s satellite data & geospatial expertise, we can better forecast and respond to food crises. #NASRDA #WFP #ZeroHunger #SpaceForDevelopment


For the first time, Nigerian seeds are in space—As part of National Space Research and Development Agency Crew-11 mission, our maize,cowpea, sorghum, okra, amaranth & egusi are now aboard the ISS for the #WorldSeedsExperiment #AfricaInSpace #Crew11 #NigeriaInSpace


We’ve inaugurated a National Space Research and Development Agency X Ministry of Steel Joint Technical Committee to unlock #Nigeria’s minerals with space tech. Deliverables: costed plan, tight timelines, funding model, & EO/SAR mapping on land & in our waters supporting iron-ore/steel (Ajaokuta). #Geospatial


Hosted the Nigerian Cartographic Association at National Space Research and Development Agency. Focus: national mapping, boundary demarcation, data standards, and capacity building. Actions: joint work plan, legal framework & hosting NCA’s int’l conference. #NASRDA #Geospatial #Cartography #DataForDevelopment


At the Nigeria–EU Cocoa Roundtable, I set out National Space Research and Development Agency plan for space-enabled traceability: farm mapping, deforestation-risk alerts, and interoperable data for EUDR due diligence. Protect forests, de-risk exports, keep farmers competitive. #EUDR #Traceability
