About Us
In 1993,the Federal Government Nigeria called on 9 experts in the field of space science to draw up a space policy. The experts strongly recommended that Nigerian Government create a Centre for Basic space science to coordinate space research activities in the Universities and Research Institutions in the country.
In 1999 a serious consideration was given to the establishment of space Agency, space policy and centre for Basic Space Science (CBSS). Eventually, the establishment of CBSS was implemented in 2001. University of Nigeria was chosen as a temporary site, with office located adjacent to UNN Internet Centre.
