The Federal Government of Nigeria is set to establish over 24 skills and innovation centres across the country through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund). The Innov8 Hub, a focal point for innovation start-up incubation, technology transfer, knowledge and skills impartation, prototype development and fabrication, is being partnered with by TETFund for practical training and mentorship for Nigerian youths and academics. The aim is to provide equal opportunities to all Nigerian children, regardless of their location. The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, praised TETFund and the Innov8 Hub for providing learners and researchers from colleges of education, polytechnics, and universities with the platform to undertake practical impactful research. He promised to bridge the gap between researchers and industries and bring in big entrepreneurs and relevant ministry positions to see the potential of the centres. The government will also train students and give them skills to generate a lot of young Nigerians from internally displaced persons' camps and elsewhere.
