The Federal Government has approved ₦4.2 billion for the funding of 158 research projects under the TETFund National Research Fund 2024 Grant Cycle, marking a significant investment in Nigeria’s knowledge economy.
This isn’t just good news for academia — it’s a major win for industries like real estate, urban development, and housing, which are often shaped by the insights and innovations born from academic research.
At Property Media Week (PMW), we understand that sustainable real estate growth starts with data, research, and bold ideas. Whether it’s engineering safer buildings, planning smarter cities, or studying housing affordability, research fuels the future we’re all building.
- ₦2.35 billion – Science, Engineering, Technology & Innovation
- ₦1.03 billion – Humanities & Social Science

Top awardees include:
- FUT Minna – 15 projects (₦400m)
- ABU Zaria – 13 projects (₦359.8m)

TETFund received 6,944 research proposals in this cycle alone — a strong indicator that Nigeria’s scholars are not just watching the country’s development from afar — they’re helping shape it.
From innovations in building materials to the economics of homeownership, we at PMW are watching these research outcomes closely — because they directly influence how we live, build, and invest in Nigeria.
