In line with its mandate towards public tertiary educational institutions, the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) has disclosed that six multidisciplinary research laboratories are being installed at different locations across the country.
TETFund said four of the state-of-the-art facilities were currently being installed in Rivers, Kano, Abuja, and Lagos, while work on the two will commence before the end of the year. In a related development, TETFund, in collaboration with Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU), trained 1,000 students and 15 staff members on career choices and professional development. The training, organised by the university’s Directorate of Human Resource and Career Development, and fully sponsored by TETFund, was aimed at building the professional capacity of both students and staff.
Executive Secretary of TETFund, Sonny Echono, disclosed the installation of the six multidisciplinary research laboratories yesterday in Abuja while receiving the leadership of Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA), led by its President, Mobolaji Adeniyi.
Echono revealed that the agency would soon commission some iconic projects across the country, adding that four of the projects would be unveiled in Kano and Osun states before the end of the month. He said that would enable researchers to conduct a wide range of research locally, eliminating the need to send research samples abroad for analysis.
