This article addresses Nigeria's decision to implement an International Scientific Committee that will "fast track the contributions of science to national development." This Committee is going to serve as an "advisory body" to the National Mathematical Centre (NMC). This investment is expected to reverse the "brain drain syndrome" that occurred because of previous governments inability to invest in science and research. This investment is considered necessary for Nigeria to obtain economic growth and development. This shows that the present administration is attempting to do anything it takes to better the economy in Nigeria.
