Summary

Introduction

TO THE STUDYThe quest of every nation to be among the most advanced nations of the world cannot be overemphasized. This has become the prima facie of every nation concerned about making memorable impact in the league of nations and having her name written in gold in the heart of every individual existing in the world This was noted by Festus and Ekpete (2012) that science and technology have become the hallmark for sustainable development in any national economy, but cannot strive ahead without the science subjects like Biology and Chemistry. Nwafor and Oka (2016) are of the view that information and communication technologies (which is the brain child of structured science and technology) enable man as well as nations to timely and efficiently increase their speed of operation, interact in flexible ways, utilize their potentials to become innovative and creative The basis of this virile science and technological base depends on three scientific fields – Biology, Chemistry and Physics
