Addressing stakeholders at a conference in Abuja with focus on Emerging materials and technologies for sustainable building and road infrastructure, the Minister for Science and Technology agrees that the training of artisans play a direct role in mitigating against the challenges of capital flight.
The legislature in this regard is assuring of the initiation of a policy that will enhance collaborative efforts aimed at revolutionizing the country's preconstruction, construction and post construction management processes.
