Women in Chemistry, (WIC) has appealed to the Niger Delta Development Commission, (NDDC) the North East Development Commission, (NEDC) and other relevant agencies to prioritise education by equipping schools with functional science laboratories.
The group warned that poor learning conditions are discouraging young girls from thriving in the sciences, particularly chemistry.
The appeal was made by Dr Sarah Nwinee, the Coordinator of WIC, during the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry ,(IUPAC) 2026 Global Women’s Breakfast.
The event is an annual hybrid programme organised worldwide by Women in Chemistry under the Chemical Society of Nigeria, (CSN).
According to Nwinee, science is often studied in environments that are not conducive to effective learning, discouraging many students from excelling in chemistry and other science-related subjects.
She expressed concern over the poor state of science laboratories in many Nigerian schools and urged agencies such as the NDDC, NEDC and others to prioritise education by adequately equipp
ing schools.
