Hamza Al-Mustapha, president of APUDI Institute for Peace Studies and Social Rehabilitation (APIS), has called for synergy to revive institutions in Nigeria.
Mr Al-Mustapha said this on the sidelines of the 2022/2023 End of Course Work Dinner Party and Awards Night of APIS in Abuja on Saturday.
He said Nigeria needed professionals to help address the challenges facing the country.
Mr Al-Mustapha urged the students not to relax at this stage but to brace up to complete their research work successfully, come up with new issues and exhibit their innate qualities.
Suleiman Mohammed, the former vice-chancellor of Nasarawa State University, also urged the students to do critical research to generate knowledge, support policy, and solve challenges in their chosen fields.
Mr Mohammed advised the students to ensure their research was original, noting that the era of going to other universities to get research topics was over.
