The Sheda Science and Technology Complex (SHESTCO), a parastatal under the aegis of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology was established by Act No. CAP. S5 (formerly decree No. 95 of 1993) as a multi-disciplinary Research and Development Centre. The Complex was established for the purpose of enabling institutions and individuals to undertake a wide range of research and development in a comprehensive and organized manner. The Complex houses facilities with concentration of sophisticated and modern equipment for R&D involving the highest level of technology in one location. This is to avoid their unnecessary wide diffusion with the attendant cost effectiveness, thus ensuring their sustainability and intensity of use.
