Since his reinstatement as the Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, Prof Suleiman Bogoro has not hidden his feelings in various occasions he has had opportunity to speak on the deplorable state of research and development in the nation’s education, especially the university sub sector. The challenge which many attributes to the missing link in the relationship between the academia and industry no doubt has its tool on the present state of affairs in the nation’s economy. To change the narrative, the TETFUND boss in May 2019 constituted an 11 man committee with mandate to deepen research culture in the universities. This time around, the focus is on review of projects, interventions and expenditures in the nation’s ivory towers across the country. A Technical Advisory Committee on impact Assessment expected to deliver on this mandate has a timeframe of November 29 to submit its report.
