About Us

The Foundation for Economic Research and Training (FERT) is a registered, non-profit, non-governmental institution with the objective of carrying out socio-economic research and training in Nigeria, Africa and the developing world. FERT was established in 1995 to fill the gap existing between rigorous socio-economic research and reality. The output of such research would be useful to policy-makers and technocrats as they attempt to address problems of poverty and underdevelopment. Capacity building and training remain essential for instilling new skills, techniques, and re-tooling present and future generations of technocrats and policy-makers in an ever-changing global environment.
