• • •
•
ECOWAS now has a regional desk on ST &I at the headquarters. It now has a draft ST &I Policy. At the AU level there is now a very proactive partnership between African union and the European union on ST &I . Also the continental Programme which is the Consolidated Plan of Action CPA on ST &I launched in 2005/2006 is now being reviewed. Also AU is expanding the programme on Science Technology Innovation Indicators to assist every country to assess its ST &I system. The AU is also pushing forever member country to invest at least 1% of it's GDP on R&D AU is also facilitating for the establishment of the Pan African Intellectual Property Organization PAIPO.
In all these initiatives Nigeria is either spearheading or fully involved.

CONCLUSIONS 1.
The FMST has several products awaiting commercialization via linkages with entrepreneurs
2.
The FMST poised to establish clusters so as to provide organized structures to synergise institutional cohesion with services to rural communities to take advantage of the various technologies domesticated
3.Nigerians Should take advantage of – a) Satellite Resources available for commercialization
– b) Other Products that are fully developed also ready for commercialization
