Why Nigerian professors aren’t getting research grants – TETFund boss
Despite the growing number of Nigerian professors, said to be about 8000, the TETfund boss is worried that many professors have low capacity to write quality research proposals.
“Now they have wangled their way to top professors, but give them the topmost platform in the world, they won’t want to climb because they will misrepresent the title they are carrying. This is a challenge to us,” he said.Mr Bogoro said TETfund has made N10 million available for all beneficiary institutions for capacity building and training for research proposal writing.
“Nigeria institutions must therefore take the necessary steps to put research on the front burner of their activities so they can take their rightful place as leaders in the knowledge generation industries with impactful research findings,” he said.
