TETFund Extends Support to NIPRD, Other Agencies for Drug Production

The Tertiary Education Trust Fund has promised to provide ‘mega research support’ to four public agencies for the purpose of producing drugs.

Bogoro, who did not provide details of the identity and specific research activities the other agencies are expected to undertake, noted that the NIPRD would collaborate with the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, Ibadan, to carry out research and production of Phytomedicine. The TETFund boss expressed belief that activities of the RDSC are gradually and firmly transforming perceptions about research in the country, adding that the committee was changing people’s opinions about the appropriate direction that the country must take, going forward.

Gadzama said although the committee’s work was done during very difficult times of COVID-19, it paid advocacy visits to several appropriate bodies and agencies with visible R and D outputs in Nigeria, adding that such visits have consolidated its thinking that the new paradigm of knowledge-based economy would enhance the GDP of Nigeria.

The airline boss said: “My attention has been drawn to a recorded voice trending on social media in which I was mentioned as having collaborated with the Anambra State Government in the deployment of military personnel to Mbosi junction on the Onitsha-Owerri expressway that resulted in the killing of two youths in the area.

Expressing shock at the allegation, Onyema said he does not even believe in the use of force to settle the issues at hand, but believes in dialogue and nonviolence, “which are a more potent ways to ensure the reign of peace in any society.
