Inadequate advocacy and sensitisation on the part of
government and lack of interest on the
part of the private sector in commercialising local research findings has been
attributed as the reason why private sector don’t appreciate the inherent
benefits of such findings.
The National President, All Farmers Association of
Nigeria (AFAN) and
Chairman, Board of Trustees, National Agricultural Foundation of Nigeria (NAFN), Senator
Abdullahi Adamu told NaijaAgroNet while explaining that government has not been able to
address the issues to a point that the private investor can appreciate such research
because the advantages that will accrue to him or her over any subject matter
of research are not known.
Adamu cited the case of United Kingdom under late Mrs
Margaret Thatcher and United States of America under Ronald Reagan tenure and
posited that before they went into full privatisation of railway system, the
ordinary Briton or American knew what was railway and that it was functioning.
“They knew the advantages of travelling by rail as
compared with travelling by road in a car or lorry; they knew the difference
between travelling by train and travelling on the high seas overseas or by
ship; they knew the implications. The private sector, if you want them to be
involved in these things, there must be good advocacy on the side of the
government,” Adamu said.
NaijaAgroNet recalls from Adamu that there was need for government
to publicise such research, its advantages and develop the literature that will
sell what have been researched upon as that is the only weapon that can make
such research attractive to a prospective investor or the private sector.
He canvassed that government should create the
enabling environment that would stimulate investment in research by the private
sector.

That is two millennia of knowledge, civilization and human achievement razed to nothingness by Fascist aggression. Like a terrified Aeneas on the run, Eliot flees the burning shores of Europe to seek reparation to the damages, caused by Western imperialist violence, in the ancient spirituality of the Upanishadas, in its enduring message of peace, compassion and generosity. The coda of The Wasteland is a random series of neurotic visions of a disintegrating reality that is finally salvaged by the incantatory chanting of 'Shantih'.
