Welcome!



Welcome!

After several months of procrastination, i am finally blogging.   There is a void in the academics.  Academics have three core duties: teaching, research and community service.  We work hard at these duties that we sometimes forget our audience.   There is this disconnect between academics and the general public (including government and government agencies).   People do not connect with what is happening in the four walls of a university.  Members of the academics do not help matters in any way as we speak in languages the general public do not comprehend.  The government and its representatives do not know what we are doing and have not shown interest in it.

The main purpose of this blog will be to discuss issues facing academics in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.  I will attempt to discuss research from our institutions in a way that ordinary citizens can understand and correct misconceptions about the academic life.   The various applications and relevant government agencies that can benefit from it will be discussed in a simple, easy to understand way. 

The work of an academic can be tedious sometimes, i will try to be regular with my posts.  If you have any idea, questions, suggestion or willing to write a post, i can be reached via twitter (@ogunjosam) or email (ogunjosam@yahoo.com).

Thank you.

    You are very correct. There is need for synergy between government and the academia.
    Hence we need to mend this divide by identifying how to localize our research and apply findings to our challenges as a nation
