iRead To Live’s research agenda addresses the student-facing dimensions of Nigeria’s higher education crisis. Our work is concentrated in four focal areas, each chosen because it represents a significant policy gap where independent, evidence-based research can drive measurable improvement in student outcomes.
All research produced by iRead To Live is independently conducted, reviewed internally, reviewed and approved for publication by our Academic Advisory Council, and published as open-access material freely available to policymakers, journalists, students, and the public.

Our flagship publications include policy briefs addressed directly to JAMB, NUC, NELFUND, and TETFund; annual research reports; working papers; and the Nigeria Higher Education Policy Tracker.
