Satellite technology remains the driving force behind most developed and developing economies. It provides security, telecommunications, technology advancements, protects the environment and a host of daily services. In today’s satellite oriented industries change is the only constant, from market and technological changes to policy and budgetary uncertainties.

To keep up with such changes the centre has a growing work force of highly motivated staff from various scientific and engineering backgrounds. It is a great privilege to lead a team of African pioneers in the satellite industry. Over time Space has become a crucial tool in tackling the global challenges various countries are facing and will continue to face in years to come. Through CSTD, we can help Nigeria and the World as a whole become a better place to live in. To us sky is not the limit.
