Federal Govt Plans Research, Devt Foundation As TETFund Gets Draft Bill

The executive secretary of TETFund, Prof Suleiman Bogoro, who received the draft law from the TETFund NRDF Bill Drafting Committee in Abuja, on Wednesday, commended the Attorney General of the Federation , Abubakar Malami , for drafting staff of the Justice Ministry for the task.

Bogoro said with the draft bill already submitted, a foundation has been laid for driving Nigeria’s knowledge-driven economy, adding that the country has no option than to embrace knowledge in its pursuit of economic development.He noted that the document is clear on what it intends to accomplish, which is the establishment of a national research and development foundation that would coordinate research efforts in the country to usher it into a knowledge-based economy.

While applauding the committee for its efforts and saying it was on a historic mission for the country, he noted that each of the persons invited to the R&D committee was mandated to make a specific contribution for the country.The TETFund boss said Nigeria’s economy couldn’t be competitive if it does not institutionalise research and development.

“When we lack the fidelity to implement our policies and lack the discipline to enforce our laws, it is precisely why Nigeria has failed. We have failed to attain our potential as a nation because of some of these areas.
