WELCOME TO THE FEDERAL INSTITITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH OSHODI

Welcome to FIIRO’s website, the official window of Nigeria’s foremost research institute to the outside world. An adventure into this website affords you the opportunity to acquaint yourself with our vision, mission, antecedents, activities and land mark achievements.

We have the broad mandate of accelerating industrialization in Nigeria and has over the years developed technologies that have promoted the ideals of entrepreneurship development.

We have locally sourced alternative raw materials for our industries, thereby conserving foreign exchange; through adequate food processing techniques we have improved the nutritional content of our food intake and we have locally fabricated machines, equipment and many more.

Impressed as they were with FIIRO’s unequal strides, corporate organizations, governments, NGOs, international organizations, donor agencies, and the academia have actively identified with our R&D pursuits. You can see a list of corporate beneficiaries from FIIRO's research work here.

Also at your disposal via this web are the schedules of our trainings, seminars and workshops. The website also showcases our publications and contributions in making R&D a worthwhile venture.

Thank you and WELCOME!!!

FIIRO COLLABORATES WITH BOI

 

According to her FIIRO has trained over 500 entrepreneurs on different technologies but most, of the trained-entrepreneurs have challenges in establishing, expanding, modernizing or rehabitating their existing enterprises due to lack of funds. She therefore solicited for a dedicated fund, which will be disbursed directly to techno-entrepreneurs trained on different technologies at FIIRO on terms to be agreed upon. 

She envisaged that with such a fund available for entrepreneurs, within three years about a thousand small and medium enterprises will have been established with about 10,000 employment generated.

 She also solicited for financial support from BOI for the upgrading of the institute’s technology training infrastructures. This will enable the institute deliver a more efficient service to the Small Medium Entrepreneurs (SMEs) 

Also speaking at the occasion, Ms. Evelyn Oputu, MD/ CEO Bank of Industry acknowledged the enviable role FIIRO's Management has been playing in ensuring that most of FIIRO's research outputs are commercialised.

Thus, she expressed her willingness to assist and collaborate with the institute.

Lastly both institutions agreed to setup a Task Team to see to the running of the partnership between FIIRO and BOI.
