What remains in short supply is the ability to convert that knowledge into products, services, and scalable enterprises that can bolster the economy. The gap between research output and real-world application has become one

In a country where expired medicines often end up in drains, open dumps, or forgotten corners of homes, one young graduate is asking a simple but urgent question: what happens after the cure? For Durosinmi Quadri, a recent pharmacy graduate from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), that question has grown far beyond an academic exercise. It is now the foundation of

Founders are no longer just asking how to build; they are asking how to build something fundable. To the uninitiated, venture capital still looks like a meritocracy of brilliance, a space where the best ideas naturally rise. But in practice, fundability is less about
