  Efforts by the country to bridge development gaps between it and advanced nations of the world through research and development, R&D, are not only inadequate as a result of poor funding, researchers in universities and institutes are also expressing frustration with the politicization of the process to get the paltry sums available to them.

The article from Vanguard Nigeria discusses how inadequate funding for research in Nigeria severely hampers national development. It highlights that despite the potential for research to drive economic growth, innovation, and solutions to societal problems, the lack of financial support leads to a brain drain, where talented researchers leave the country for better opportunities abroad. The piece points out that Nigerian universities and research institutions struggle with outdated equipment, insufficient grants, and poor infrastructure, which collectively diminish the quality and quantity of research output. This situation not only stalls scientific advancement but also affects sectors like health, agriculture, and technology, where research could lead to significant improvements. The article calls for increased government investment in research and development, better policy frameworks to encourage private sector involvement, and a cultural shift towards valuing and supporting research to foster national development.
