CEMRI is a group of researchers who want to make impact from research and innovative activities. The group aims to share knowledge, orientate youth, proffer solutions to problems in businesses and government sector, also to empower young scholars on contributing actively to innovative research. Members of CEMRI comes from various research discipline and countries. Within the last few years, some countries in Africa have recorded many giant strides in information technology, medicine and health, education, tourism and banking. Similarly, many Africans in diaspora have distinguished themselves in their respective professions. However, the reportage of Africa by majority of the international media organizations have consistently centred on the negatives, thus, casting a pale of hopelessness and gloomy future. This does not only affect the perception of Africans about their richly endowed continent but also affect international investors’ interest in Africa. While we acknowledge the daunting challenges facing Africa, just like developing countries in other continents, we believe that a scientific approach, rather than a media hype, to identifying these challenges and proffering solutions where necessary, will go a long way to providing sustainable solutions to these challenges.
