An initiative that will help academics and researchers in transforming their ideas in researches into prototypes for commercialisation purposes has been introduced.
The Tetfund Alliance for Innovative research initiative seeks to ensure that academics and research solutions are encouraged for National and Global use.
Over time, research activities have been hindered by the lack of funding, human resources, policy and infrastructure. These challenges have further deepened the poor performance of Nigeria in creativity and Innovation limiting good contributions to National development.
