Recommendations                                                                          

In view of the analysis above, the following recommendations are hereby proffered:

1. More funds should be allocated for IBR research for more staff to engage in continuous research.
2. Fund for IBR, Journal and Manuscript Development should be fully disbursed i.e not in tranches anymore.
3. Journal and Manuscript Development Funds should not be paid directly to the publisher’s account. This is because there are many processes involved before publication.
