  "summary": "The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and Iwemi, a Nigerian digital research and publishing company, are exploring a partnership to transform research in polytechnics and technical colleges into marketable innovations, employable skills, and new sources of income. During a visit to the NBTE headquarters in Abuja, Iwemi's delegation presented the Iwemi Academic Publishing and Research Platform, a digital ecosystem designed to preserve students’ projects, theses, and institutional research while expanding access to academic resources and creating opportunities for lecturers to earn royalties from published learning materials. The proposed collaboration aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical applications, improve industry linkages, and strengthen skills development in Nigeria’s technical institutions.",
