Federal University of Petroleum Resources (FUPRE), Effurun , Delta State has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) to develop technologies to boost the nation’s industrial sector.

The pact seeks to provide research support by developing solutions with adaptive research-based projects to support local production and manufacturing, while empowering MAN with the opportunity to sponsor or donate grants towards ongoing research, to promote local manufacturing.

The Vice-Chancellor of FUPRE, Prof. Akpofure Rim-Rukeh, who hosted officials of MAN and other university officials, said the university has made breakthroughs in research and development, securing over 20 patents that are awaiting commercialisation. The vice chancellor said the university is prepared to bring its wealth of research experience and innovations to the table and assured the MAN team of firsthand assessment of its inventions.

Ajayi stressed that global market space is skewed against African manufacturers in so many ways, saying: “There is need for us to seek partnerships as Nigeria remains the best country to lead Africa, since MAN as an organisation leads African manufacturers.”
