Who We Are
Our History
The National Centre for Technology Management (NACETEM) was established in September 1992, following the 2nd Conference of Ministers responsible for Application of Science and Technology to the Socio-Economic Establishment of Africa (CASTAFRICA II) in 1987.
It began operations in January 1993 at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. In November 2005, NACETEM expanded its mandates to the West African sub-region by merging with the former Regional Programme for Technology Management (REPTEM) and gained agency status under the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology.
Today, it focuses on training high-level manpower, conducting policy research in science and technology management, and providing vital knowledge support to enhance Nigeria’s STI system.
