“…These activities can enable industry and the public at large to have access to the stock of knowledge and expertise in the university. They also provide practical experience to staff and bring out the relevance of teaching and research to current industrial needs [Oyebisi and Ilori 1996]. Faculty members at universities have a unique opportunity to share their intellectual property with industry because they bring value through their in-depth investigative techniques, rigorous methods, and objectivity.…”

“… Sabbatical leave is currently a valuable tool for allowing staff to dedicate time to research activities. Extending this to allow academic staff to undertake consultancy or work in relevant enterprises will strengthen their ability to provide appropriate industry exposure to students [Oyebisi and Ilori 1996].  Having appropriate staff expertise is essential to the success of attempts to strengthen the TRIL nexus [Thomas and Mancy 2004].…”

“…Despite the lack of formal evaluation of the impacts of ICT industry connections on teaching, learning and research, the consensus appears to be that the establishment and maintenance of industry links is associated with positive outcomes for students, academics and industry. The benefits to students can include performance and employment outcomes [James 2005], and the benefits to academics can include opportunities to refresh their knowledge and access to research projects and funding [Grant and Wakeliin 2009;Oyebisi and Ilori 1996]. Industry can also benefit through obtaining access to academic expertise, and to promising graduates [Grant and Wakeliin 2009].…”

The teaching-research nexus concept has been extensively examined in the higher education literature, and the importance of industry linkages in information and communications technology (ICT) education has also been widely discussed. However, to date there has been little recognition of the full extent of relationships between aspects of teaching, learning, research and industry and of the synergy possible from exploiting these relationships. Koppi and Naghdy [2009] introduced the concept of the teaching-research-industry-learning (TRIL) nexus in ICT education and this paper attempts to advance understanding of the concept by exploring the literature that underpins it. The paper contributes to a clearer understanding of the nature of the relationships involved as they apply to ICT education, and makes comprehensive recommendations to support strengthening the TRIL nexus in ICT education.

“…Consequently, the national R&D capabilities have been undermined by underfunding. There also exists a weak interaction among the key actors of the national innovation system in the country (Aju, 1994;Oyebisi, Ilori & Nassar, 1996;Oyewale, 2003;Oyewale, Dada & Siyanbola, 2008). Industrial firms in Nigeria have not been making effective use of the inventions/research results of Nigerian research institutes, as they tend to have little to do with these institutes.…”

R&D and Innovation activities, which lead to technological progress, are considered as important factors contributing to stable and continuous economic growth. Total Factor Productivity accounts for the proportion of economic growth that is not captured by labour and capital inputs, and is measured by R&D and innovation in this paper. The paper investigates the impact of R&D and innovation, labour and capital on economic growth in Nigeria using Least Square Method. The result of the thirty one (31) years reviewed shows that Gross Expenditure on R&D (GERD) has significant impact on economic growth. The coefficient of R&D which is negatively related to economic growth implies that it is not enough to increase spending on R&D and innovation when there are weak institutions, high corruption practices, low interaction between the academia and the industry, uncoordinated industrial clusters, among others. The result also shows that both labour and capital are directly related to economic growth, though the former plays a significant role while the latter does not. This paper concludes that government must be committed to R&D and innovation funding, developing strong institutions, enhancing the academia-industrial linkage as well as implementing a workable science, technology and innovation policy in order to bolster and diversify the economy. Government should also provide various fiscal incentives for the industrial firms in their various clusters so as to encourage them to engage in R&D and innovation activities, either through reverse engineering or inventing new ones, as this will not only lead to economic growth but also raise the global competitiveness of Nigeria.
