Institute Decries Poor Research Funding in Nigerian Universities
A board member of the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria, Dr. Aba Sagoe, has raised concerns over the lack of funding for research in Nigerian universities, urging increased investment across various fields, including medicine, pharmacy, and agriculture.
Speaking at a research ethics conference in Abuja on Monday, Sagoe noted that while many Nigerians are eager to engage in research, inadequate support hinders progress.
Health Minister of State, Dr. Iziaq Salako, represented by Dr. Lolade Adeyemi, emphasized innovation and ethical leadership in health systems. IHVN’s COO, Dr. Charles Mensah, said the conference aims to promote research integrity and ethical standards across disciplines.
