CONCEPT NOTE

Establishment of the AbbaGod Space Research & Technology Centre: Harnessing Space Science and Technology for National Development. (Inspired by Kennedy Space Centre, USA, and NASA Langley Research Centre)

Nigeria, with its vibrant youth population and growing demand for technological innovation, requires a hub where science, technology, and innovation can thrive. While the Nigerian Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) provides national leadership, there is no public-facing facility where citizens, students, entrepreneurs, and professionals can engage with space science and advanced technology at an experiential level
The AbbaGod Space Research & Technology Initiative (ASRTI_NIGERIA) seeks to bridge this gap by establishing a world-class Space Research & Technology Centre.
The centre will inspire future scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs while supporting cutting-edge research, innovation, and economic growth.
 
This centre will be a national hub for education, research, innovation, and public engagement, attracting students, professionals, entrepreneurs, and visitors from across Nigeria and beyond.

Vision & Objectives

  • * Ignite interest in STEM education for children and youths.
  • * Drive cutting-edge research in aerospace, robotics, AI, and satellite systems.
  • * Foster entrepreneurship and innovation through incubation hubs.
  • * Build Nigeria’s reputation as a continental leader in the space sector.
  • * Create jobs and boost the tech-driven economy.

Proposed Facilities

1. Visitor & Education Complex – Planetarium, space museum, simulators, STEM labs.
 
2. Research & Development Centre – Aerospace, AI/Robotics, astrophysics, satellite labs.
 
3. Entrepreneurship Hub – Startup incubators, maker spaces, mentorship programs.
 
4. Training Wing – Classrooms, auditoriums, professional training facilities.
 
5. Recreation Zone – Rocket Garden, Science Park, Rides, Gift Shops, Event Spaces.
 
6. Admin & Operations – Offices, ICT, security, and facility management.
 

Estimated cost

Phase 1 (1–2 years): $100M – $150M
 
Phase 2 (3–5 years): $150M – $300M
 
Phase 3 (6–8 years): $300M – $600M
 
Phase 4 (9– 10 years): $600M – $800M
 
Total: $600M – $800M

Impact

  • * Visitors: 150,000 in Year 1 → 2M annually by Year 10.
  • * Jobs: Thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities.
  • *National Benefits:* 
  • * STEM talent development, tourism revenue, global recognition.
  • * Sustainable investment in the future of space science and technology development.
  • * Pioneering Technology that redifines space research 
  • * Connecting minds across the globe 
  • * Engaging communities to shape the future
