The challenge of affordable world class technical product and services availability in a developing economy like Nigeria, is an every day reality even with twenty two years already gone into the information age. Imported technical products in automobiles, machinery and electronics are most of the time substandard, compared to their foreign counterpart-no thanks to unscrupulous indigenous importer. Both high-tech and consumer product in this category do not often complete their expected life cycle, due to lack and dearth of good maintenance utilization capacity.

Heavy and large scale construction products such as highways products such as highways, bridges and massive public buildings are being contracted by the government to expatriates, while the small scale ones and privately executed projects are being shared among local professionals, quarks, uncertified artisans and technicians. At a glance, even untrained eye can easily spot discrepancies in quality between job executed by expatriates and their local counterpart. The formers works always epitomizes excellent workmanship and quality materials while the latter’s work can easily be identified by features of poor craftsmanship in both design and implementation.

This we wonder could be an offshoot of failure of our formal and informal educational systems. We strongly belief our poverty and low technological base is not an acceptable excuse for this development. With the advent of information age, the power of information is all we need to overcome whatever weakness we have in terms of finance and technical know how. Guided with power of information  and passion we can invent an appropriate technical solution and still achieve the same result that will rank very close in status if not equal in it with what is obtainable in the developed world.  

This situation has spelt doom for the nation’s economy. The deficit in the balance of payment, unemployment, low capacity utilization, low technological development and technical  know how, corruption, brain drain, poor environmental condition and emergence of environmental crises- pollution, flood, slum, epidemics, building collapse, traffic congestion political instability, poverty, underdevelopment, infrastructure system failure-power, housing, transportation.

The quality of physical environment assessed from perspective of functionality- structural integrity, safety, economy- and aesthetics scored a very low mark compared with even newly emerging world economy let alone the developed ones.

Our strong opinion is that,  we reject the hypothesis being postulated in some circles in Nigeria that “ it shall take developing economy like Nigeria, some long time to catch up with the developed economy.” The premises upon which we base our opinion is as follows:

1. the developed world will never stop advancing for the developing world to catch up with them.
2. the developed world did not have any model of development to catch up with when they were developing.
3. the present generation of developing economy workforce may not live to witness the end of  the so called long time.

As a result we have resolved to focus on the following vision directions:

1. Fashioning short cut indigenous ways to accelerate development in thee physical and technological environment to meet up with international acceptable standard.
2. Strive hard to at least lay a solid foundation upon which the much dreamt about development standard can be built in the foreseeable future.
