ABSTRACT

The industrial world and the academic world have grown far apart. The
distance between them is primarily a result of different goals and
different means of support. While on one side we have a large stock of
engineers, we have not been able we have not been able to derive the
full economic benefit from this talent base because of the mismatch
between the industry needs and the university output. The proper
utilization of our intellectual capital could be a major driver for growth
and it is important for Nigerias economy.
