It’s absolutely bonkers we don’t talk more about Nigerian research policy!
Have you ever said that to yourself or your colleagues? No! Well, you should.
Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy and the country with the largest population on the continent as well. And in 2050 it will have the 3rd largest population in the world. So an important country that will only grow in importance.
We were slightly embarrassed that we knew next to nothing about the country’s research policy and used the country’s presidential elections as an occasion to learn more, so we had a chat with Dr Mustapha Popoola Ayo, who’s quite the expert on the topic. And we talked research policy broadly, infrastructure, funding and international collaboration. It is an inspirational and informative chat.
This is not our last episode exploring research policies in countries we don’t necessarily talk about in that context. There will be more to follow.
This episode was produced and edited by Arthur Deligne.
