According to her, It’s worthy of note that, TJEST is first of its kind in the annals of the Unions in Nigerian Universities.

She explained that NAAT as a body of professional technocrats had never relented in its efforts towards indigenous technological breakthroughs.

Comrade Adeosun explained that the bane on technological and novel research breakthrough amongst Nigerian Universities was as a result of failure on the part of the Government to, on a regular basis train and re-train Academic Technologists who are the frontiers of Academic and Developmental Researches.

The Chairman noted that the Journal’s abstracts were currently available in both English and Arabic, with ongoing efforts to incorporate the French language in future editions, following its launch in Abuja.

In his response, The Vice Chancellor, Professor Edward Olanipekun who commended efforts of NAAT both at the Local and the National levels, in Academic Advancement in Nigeria, promised to prioritize workers welfare the more.

He said the Journal would be useful for both lecturers and students of higher institutions in the area of publishing the outcome of their research findings.

Five (5) hard copies of the journal were handed over to the Vice-Chancellor for onward distribution to the University Library in order to make it accessible to the general public.
