dc.description	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.

dc.description.abstract	The role of research in the development of any nation cannot be over-emphasized. Research outcomes arc very important in influencing policy and in determining policy direction towards national development. Many policies have emanated from outcomes of research. Through research, a better understanding of what is actually happening is facilitated and well-informed policy decisions can be taken. In addition to providing data for measuring specific indices of development, a body of research is expected to end up with some far-reaching recommendations that can trigger policy formulation towards making life comfortable for the citizens. This paper x-rayed the relationship between research and national development, with particular reference to Nigeria.	en_US
