The Nigerian Academy of Sciences (NAS) was inaugurated in 1977 after five years of renewed effort by concerned Nigerian scientists under the auspices of the Science Association of Nigeria (SAN) to overcome the obstacles that plagued previous efforts of about 20 years to establish a formal Academy of Science. The academy membership is currently 100, and an average of 5 new members are elected each year. The main objectives of the academy are to: (1) promote the growth, acquisition and dissemination of scientific knowledge; and (2) facilitate its use in the solution of major problems of national interest.
