  • Summary

    Experience in teaching and supervising undergraduate research projects for over two decades has shown that undergraduate research (UR) in Nigeria could hardly be said to be taken seriously. However, in recent times, several private initiatives have begun to establish a promising trend in UR in the country. For instance, there are curricular spaces for UR in Nigeria. Under the strict guidelines of the National University Commission (NUC), many Nigerian institutions include a course on research methods within the undergraduate curriculum. The NUC policy is to allow undergraduate students ample experience of conducting meaningful research. This chapter presents best practices in UR at Covenant University as well as the Educational Research Network for West and Central Africa (ERNWACA) small grant projects.
