Speaking earlier, Chairman of the Council, Professor Toyin Ogundipe, noted that the institution would partner with several non-governmental organisations for the benefit of Lagos State. What we are doing today is to refocus concerning Lagos State. “What we have done is around the T.H.E.M.E.S agenda that the governor has for Lagos State for the pronouncement to be very clear. We are going to have a multi-disciplinary research collaboration between the institution and the companies and it will attend to the needs of Lagos State,” he said.
