The Federal Government has unveiled the Tertiary Institutions National Laureate Prize, with an annual prize pool of about N365 million to recognise outstanding academic research, innovation and intellectual excellence across Nigeria’s tertiary institutions.
Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Olatunji Alausa, said the initiative forms part of efforts to reposition education as a catalyst for national development.
Alausa added that he recently inaugurated the Tertiary Institutions National Laureate Prize Committee to provide strategic direction, governance and oversight while ensuring the programme’s credibility and integrity.
