The University of Lagos was able to attract up to N5 billion in research in the past one year, a lecturer in the university has said.
“Activities like the research fairs are organised to position the university among the top three in Africa in the next three years,” said Akinleye, an associate professor. “This, while good, also has its other side – ethical issues about privacy, unemployment and so on. African countries lag behind in the level of automation worldwide. If we don’t do something to get on board, we would be further disenfranchised,” he said.
“We have a strategic purpose; we want to attract young academics and keep them. We believe that for anybody looking for mentorship, this is the conference,” he said.Also speaking, a member of the Abstract Sub-Committee, Dr Olaolu Olufemi, said the fair would not only feature innovations in sciences but the humanities as well.
