Nigeria and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) have agreed to actively deepen collaboration to turn the nation’s intellectual property (IP) into tangible financial assets.

The target is to commercialise research from Nigerian universities and support the creative economy through stronger technical cooperation, deeper institutional support, and expanded capacity-building, among others.
