APC chieftain, Sir Paul Chukwuma has called on academics to bridge the gap between research and the industry. He said the university sector should lead the process of linking research with the industry in order to bring sustainable development in Nigeria.  

He also particularly charged academics to become more innovative by linking research to the industry. He, however, urged the administration of the institution to tap the generous skills found in the institution.

Sir Paul Chukwuma was speaking at a hybrid conference organised by Faculty of Management Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. 

Sir Paul Chukwuma also stated that Africa cannot develop without looking inwards. He consequently urged academics can play huge roles in this regard.
