One of the key takeaways from the event was the revelation by the Fund that it has spent over N23 billion on 912 research projects across the country. Attesting to this, Ismail, during the workshop, stated that the Fund was also working hard to ensure that research outputs are linked to industries to bring about the desired development.
He, however, expressed concerns about the non-existence of a national research and innovation funding agency in Nigeria. According to him, absence of such council has denied the country the ability to attract foreign grants for research. Also speaking, the President of African University of Science and Technology , Abuja, Prof. Peter Onwualu, who harped on the importance of innovation in bringing about development, said the workshop was expected to usher in a functional science granting council in Nigeria.
