Research and Development is key to innovation, as innovation is key to Nation Building. Thus, it is essential for developing countries and emerging economies to instigate R & D and innovation machineries, and put up programs that will drive the nation’s processes.

For this purpose, the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) is once again pushing through the barriers, with a Capacity Building program for selected academics and researchers in the Nigerian academia. To achieve this, TETFund in collaboration with Innov8 Hub will further enhance the capacity of selected researchers, innovators, scholars and academics on R&D Procedures, Ideation, Idea Transformation into Inventions and Prototype Development.
