In the 1980’s, Nigeria’s universities were known for their leading research in agriculture and tropical health, but as demand for greater access forced the system to expand faster than it was capable, the quality of education offered took a sharp decline.

Senior researcher Efosa Ojomo joins this episode of the Disruptive Voice to discuss the opportunity for innovation in Nigeria’s higher education system; looks to Taiwan (Formosa Plastics/Ming Chi University), Korea (POSCO/POSTECH), and Vietnam for inspiration; and highlights the work of entrepreneur Gossy Ukanwoke with Beni American University.
