TETFund To Host Fair For Researchers, Inventors, Others

The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) is set to host a five-day Research Exhibition scheduled for the 17th of November, dedicated to showcasing the latest innovations and groundbreaking research.

The event, which is set to bring together researchers, inventors, and creators to share their cutting-edge projects and visionary ideas, will take place at Eagle Square, Abuja.

Speaking on the upcoming fair, the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, said intense and wide consultations are ongoing with institutions and organizations that can partner with and support TETFund to drive interest and encourage organizations and individuals to participate and identify technologies with a view to establishing enterprises and/or enhancing the performance of existing businesses.

He said TETFund is deliberately organizing the Fair for researchers, inventors, and creators who express interest in showcasing their technologies to participate free of charge, and that the Fair is open to the general public to attend free of charge.

“In line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, which mainly aims at ‘rebooting’ the economy through the massive generation of jobs, creation of wealth, and the improvement of the general welfare of Nigerians, TETFund is organizing a strategic Research Fair to gather and showcase many of the concluded practical research results and technologies that can be manufactured and/or are scalable, and also to encourage Nigerians.”
