[Olu Osunade]

The meeting objectives are to:
1. identify the need for research data silos in Nigeria 
2. discuss, design and propose a research data storage mechanism for researchers in Nigeria
2. examine case studies from other countries
 
The agenda is expected to contain:
1. Introduction
2. Talk by BoF Chair 
3. Audience feedback and comments
4. Case study from another country
5. Conclusion/Closing
 
Short description:
The challenge of storing Nigerian research data has been handled at the individual level without significant impact on upcoming researchers located in diverse locations. A few of the attempts that have been done are documented as journal articles without implementation. The sustainability of such a project has also been of concern to researchers and research institutes. 
Previous work are not visible and thus the conversation needs to be started.
