RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME CONCEPT NOTE
BACKGROUND
The NIGERIAN COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (NCC) is mandated to encourage effective research and development efforts by the Academia and other practitioners in the communications’ industry, with the goal of building the indigenous capacity of manufacturers and improving the overall supply chain, within the Nigerian economy. Available evidence suggest the existence of a wide gap between academic innovations and commercialisation of the developed ideas. Many research outputs, innovative ideas and product development from the nation’s Higher Institutions that have potentials to provide solutions to societal sectoral problems, create new employment opportunities and support generate revenue within the ICT sector, have not been harnessed
