摘要：The study which adopted the historical research design analysed secondary sources like academic journals, books, the print and the electronic media. Twenty-one (21) out of 105 articles contained in 13 sources were analyzed for information. Two research questions which guided the study centred on factors responsible for the low level of academic research in the Third Worldacademia and on measures for curbing those factors. Information collected were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. Three out of seven factors mentioned which stood out because they were largely mentioned were poor research methods, failure to collaborate and poor dissemination of research results. Suggestions toward improvement centred on review of tertiary education curricula to embrace modern ICT skills by students and staff, collaboration and initiatives from individual tertiary institutions. The recommendations centred on the creation of research and development departments in each tertiary institution. It was concluded that if the suggestions and recommendations are considered, academic researches could usher in sustainable development in the Third World countries
