Achievement

  • Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Office (IPTTO) was successfully set up in 2017 after ten years of inactivity. The Unit was officially Commissioned on October 17TH 2017. Following this commissioning, the Rivers State University IPTTO has made giant strides in facilitating the Patenting of novel and innovative results of Research and Development. The effort has yielded   four Patented Research results  and Prototypes   development.
  • The Pressed Meter                                                                                CERT.NO.010059
  • The Smartsyst        –                                                                                CERT.NO.010141
