Researchers to unveil think tank on president’s eight priority areas

The group of researchers said their plan is to provide workable solutions to pronouncement of the president.

He said: “Over the decades there has been the same problem, problem of lectures or research are not making money, research, commercialization problems, everything people have been talking about RDI whereas, Mr. Presidents, in his wisdom as actually directed the need for us to institutionalize research, development or innovation across board.

“We are saying for the first time, we are launching out Research, Development and Innovation think tank that will be looking at the agenda of Mr. President, and particularly the priority areas. “So that is what we promise that’s what we want to deliver. And we are actually looking at initializing this particular platform at both state and non state after at national and sub national level, so that we can actually build sustainability into it.”

“But when you have developed it yourself, then you can always use it and until you get to a level as a nation, where you are independent in the production of your needs, you are not independent. “Nigeria could not be different. And government realizes this. Precisely why, for quite a long time, I’ve seen very strong involvement, facilitation and support of government through the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, and the Ministry of Budget and National Planning.”
