Science, technology and innovation Is a vital tool for socio economic development of any country state or region. Many session papers have highlighted the need for science and technology as critical ingredients in the development agenda of our country. In both Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 and Sessional Paper No.1 of 1986, Research, Science and Technology were identified as critical drivers of economic growth and development in the country. The government established the Ministry of Science and Technology in December 2005 in an effort to improve co-ordination in the development and application of science and technology. It is against this background that Rwika Technical Institute was established on a self-help basis in 1984 by the local community. The institution was later renamed Jeremiah Nyagah National Polytechnic in recognition of the vital role the former minister, the late HON. DR. Jeremiah Mwaniki Nyaga played in the establishment of the institute.
