IN SHORT

Senator Prof Robert Ajayi Boroffice has accomplished an incredible amount in his life. He has been a key figure in developing Nigeria’s science infrastructure, particularly as the first Director General of the National Space Research and Development Agency, launching the first ever Nigerian satellites. Having now taken his ambitions to the political sector, Boroffice is striving to realize his dream of a peaceful Nigeria where opportunity for young people abounds. “You must work hard, stay focused, set goals and, above all, you must believe in yourself.”
