Research is the most credible means of understanding the world we live in. It is the vehicle through which the reality of social and natural phenomenon is understood, observed, measured and articulated for the advancement of knowledge and the resolutions of practical needs of mankind vis-à-vis national development. Unfortunately, research is viewed differently across nations in the world and professions. Professionals have this erroneous view that they are trained solely for the practice of their professions.
