TEODORO OBIANG NGUEMA MBASOGO, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF EQUATORIAL GUINEA « The Constitution of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea stipulates that the State of Equatorial Guinea will encourage scientific and technical initiative. For this reason, the Council for Scientific and Technological Research (CICTE) has been created»

On February 10, 2020, the UNESCO-Equatorial Guinea International Prize for Research in Life Sciences was awarded. How did you come up with the idea for this award?

Before going deeply to the heart of your question, I would like to welcome «HOMMES D’AFRIQUE MAGAZINE» in the Republic of Equatorial Guinea and thank its Director Ms. Samirat Ntiaze for the opportunity that has offered me to expose our political vision on the various themes relating to African news from a clearly African point of view. I would like to encourage her as Director of an African communication media to make efforts to give high coverage and reliability to African issues, to avoid false information that some of the international press diffuse about our Continent.
