NCDMB, NLNG fund $9m professorial chairs in six Nigerian universities

The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) and Nigeria LNG (NLNG) are committing US$9 million to endow professorial research chairs across six Nigerian universities, with each receiving US$1.5 million to focus on industry-aligned research priorities. This is a continuation of the NC-R&D Professorial Chair Endowment Programme, aimed at strengthening local research capacity in the oil and gas sector. The initiative signals a sustained investment in academic research but does not represent a shift in policy or market conditions.
