It is doing things to the best of our ability for the growth and development of the people and the nation. It is about inspiring and empowering ourselves to look inwards to solve our problems. There is no goal we set for ourselves or for the nation which are impossible to achieve, particularly when the power of science and technology is employed to innovate and find solutions.The Department of Physics is happy to report success in the number of papers submitted and presented in ICSSD 2019, which are greater than those recorded in the past two series, ICSSD 2017 (https://www.rgnpublications.com/journals/index.php/jims/issue/view/62) and ICSSD 2018 (http://iopscience.iop.org/issue/1755-1315/173/1). The full papers were blinded peer reviewed by number of experts and revised by the authors prior to final acceptance. The current issue of Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS) records the proceedings of ICSSD 2019, with seven (7) specialized topics.
