註釋For the Nigerian society to grow and become a developed society it needs adequate scientific knowledge and technology and, as technology is changing very fast every day, there is need for scientists to prepare the society for this change. This paper highlights the interrelationships that exist between Society, Science and Technology, the role science plays in the society has also been discussed extensively. The roles that technology plays in the society such as in the area of communication, education, and healthcare were also discussed. This paper recommends among others that students in Nigeria should have full science educational experience starting from kindergarten using the "catch them young" approach; students should be exposed to laboratory activities right from their early classes, that is, they should be given the foundation they need to actually practice science in and out of the classrooms by being allowed to learn science and technology through "hands on-activities". Additionally, relevant cultural practices, herbal medicine and innovations should be refined for subsequent integration into western science and technology.
