This paper examines the development of Science and Technology Education in Nigeria. Science and Technology Education in Nigeria and its development can be phased into two periods as Science and Technology Education before Independence, 1842-1960 and after Independence. Today, Nigeria like other developing countries, is facing the greatest challenges of humanizing Science and Technology that is to make them relevant to human needs and aspirations to bring about a sense of satisfaction and content. A paper like this would be an impetus to the understanding of the challenges inherent in the present day development of Science and Technology Education in Nigeria. As a result of these challenges, suggestions for improvements were recommended. DOI: 10.5901/ajis.2014.v3n6p285
