I am getting the following error on importing MatTabsModule in my module.ts file

Question

*        ERROR NullInjectorError: R3InjectorError(AppModule)[MatTabNav -> MatTabNav -> MatTabNav]: 
  NullInjectorError: No provider for MatTabNav!

    at NodeInjectorFactory.MatTabLink_Factory [as factory] (tabs.mjs:1906:1)

I am seeing the error mentioned above simply on importing the matTabsModule in the app.module.ts file. Can some one please explain why is this happening and give some solution for it.
