She said: “We obviously have to make sure that we critically assess the projects underway.
“We are investing in education projects – some of these are actually in incredibly challenging parts of Nigeria.”
She went on to say that the space programme could help prevent famine in the country by predicting the weather, adding: “For a country like Nigeria, which still has a huge agricultural sector for which getting crops can be the difference between keeping people alive and having chronic famine, actually understanding weather patterns is absolutely key to food production and food planning.”
