Nigeria will reap from Research & Development soon – TETFund committee
Nigeria’s recent efforts towards boosting and institutionalizing research and development in its various sectors will soon have “a resounding effect on her economy”, the Research and Development Standing Committee, RDSC, of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFund, has said.
The position of the committee was made known Tuesday by its chairman, Prof. N. M. Gadzama during the eighth edition of its Paradigm Shift engagements.
“What TETFUND is doing is the ultimate way to go, and the country is already reaping from it. In the next few years, if we do not let our guards down and we invest heavily in R&D, given our resources, we will become one the best economies in the world.”
Corroborating, the lead speaker of the session, Prof. Ali Garba from Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi noted that “industrialization is Nigeria’s solution to unemployment.”
