摘要：This research was focused on investigating and demonstrating that university (UDS) research in science and technology, grounded in social and development discourses can contribute meaningfully to meeting the developmental needs of people. The research works of Senior Members of the university who were available were considered. Data was gatheredthrough questionnaire, library search and a focused workshop discussion. The research revealed that a large proportion of research in the university (67%) is intended to address development needs. Local people are the major beneficiaries (57%) of university research. Research intended entirely for the university's own benefit (development) is rather extremely low (2%). Research findings are principally communicated through community fora or directly to specific beneficiaries. Although not the principal, some researchers have not been communicated at all. Some researchers are tailored to meet the demands of donors although there is an opportunity for these to be people-centred.
