Overcoming challenges: the case of the young scientists in Africa

Considerable progress has been made in the field of Science over the past thirty years. Development of Science and Technology is essential for advancement and welfare of any society. In this regard, young scientists in the world especially Africa should be encouraged to attain their full potential, not only in the area of research but more importantly in the dissemination of research findings to both the scientific community and the intended beneficiaries in terms of applied science. The need therefore for national, regional and international co-operation cannot be over emphasized.
