Commending RMD for his contributions to the creative industry, Dr. Adepoju stressed the importance of collaboration between various sectors to advance space exploration and position NASRDA on the global stage.
In response, RMD expressed appreciation for the warm reception, describing his visit as a homecoming.

He emphasized the importance of creating an environment that future generations would appreciate for its contributions to national development.
