Nigeria doesn't have an equipment shortage — it has a visibility shortage.
Over 500 universities, polytechnics, and research institutes across Nigeria own equipment ranging from basic tools to sophisticated analytical instrumentation. But without a shared record of where it actually is, most of it stays invisible — even to the institutions that own it. Researchers lose weeks or months just tracking equipment down, some give up and scale back their work rather than keep searching, budgets buy duplicates that already sit nearby, and the research output all that investment should produce falls short.

A shared directory is national research infrastructure
Nigeria's tertiary and research institutions represent a huge, largely uncounted investment in scientific equipment. Making it visible turns scattered assets into a resource researchers, industry, and regulators can all draw on — a direct contribution to the country's research output and its progress toward the sustainable development goals.
We're a research initiative from ICEESR, University of Uyo, built with the Network of Nigerian Women in STEM (NWISTEM), with the generous support of the SLB Foundation — maintained as shared national infrastructure, not a product any one institution has to fund alone.
Faster research
Equipment found in minutes, not months of asking around.
Smarter investment
Funders and institutions see what already exists before buying more.
National visibility
Every listed institution counted as part of Nigeria's research capacity.
Compliance confidence
Industry and regulators get a live picture of national testing and analytical capacity, without building it themselves.
Is your institution's or lab's equipment invisible too?
Get your laboratories and equipment listed in the national directory, and give researchers everywhere a reason to come to you first. This isn't just for universities — private labs and industrial facilities with testing infrastructure, and regulatory or standards bodies, are just as welcome to list.
