During a visit by Taiwan’s representative, Andy Yih-Ping Liu, Garba emphasized that Nigeria could benefit from Taiwan’s expertise in technology, innovation, and industrialization. He highlighted strategic partnerships in technology transfer, research, and manufacturing as key to overcoming Nigeria’s developmental challenges.
Garba acknowledged Nigeria’s economic struggles, including inflation and infrastructure deficits, but stressed that science and technology could provide solutions. He also suggested a parliamentary visit to Taiwan to study its technological advancements and explore potential collaborations.
