“The institute was awarded the prize for the 2nd position at the Technology Expo based on its innovative research on adhesive production technology.

“The project harnesses natural rubber latex to produce adhesives for use in the leather, wood, paper, foam, footwear, upholstery, textiles industries and others.

“A huge amount of foreign exchange is spent yearly on the import of adhesives, according to the Raw Materials Research and Development Council,” he said.

Barminas commended efforts by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation in organising the Expo.

He pledged to drive further innovative research and development to harness resources while creating opportunities, to pave the way for Nigeria’s growth and industrialisation.

According to him, such research focus will include the Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Project, Salt Utilisation Project and expansion of the Neem-based Minero Organic Fertilizer Project to avail more farmers the product.

He explained that the Innovative Research Products and Projects would help to fast track the nation’s economy and create jobs, while harnessing resources.
