Sorry for cross posting.

Hello all, Compliments of the season to you all.

I am an advocate of scientific development in Africa and Nigeria especially. I have always been sazying here that science communication is not a known thing here in Nigeria, I will like to publicly say that Nigeria is safe for investments, if thats the fear of some companies who wants to sponsor LIONS-ICTs, www.adesiyan.55uk.net, its just the bad eggs thjat spoil the tray, a lot of countries have invested in Nigeria and they have not regreateded they did so.

So I will like to use this opprtunity to call on prespective investors to come support LIONS-ICTs some areas like science museums, and research tools for young people.For instance this Christmas people do not visit science musuems because there are non, and I know if we can partner the better we will be.

Thanks.
