Abstract

The paper identified research, innovation and knowledge creation as part of the core mandates of the Nigerian polytechnic. It decried, however the low level of research activities, lack of academic culture in the polytechnic system, and consequently, low pace of technological advancement and industrial growth in the country. Therefore, the paper examined the institutional structures with a view to identifying and appraising adequacy or otherwise of the structures for research activities in the polytechnics and the problems associated with the performance of these responsibilities. It was concluded that a gap still exist in what the academic staff are doing now and what they ought to be doing due to certain inherent problems. Subsequently, the paper suggested measures that hopefully would remedy the drawbacks identified in the institutional framework for conduct of research and publication or dissemination of its results.
