These projects, which involve in-depth research into various subjects, often led to the awarding of marks or grades to students upon completion. However, questions have been raised about the tangible impact of these research efforts on addressing real-world challenges in Nigeria.
"Project work is a research work carried out by the student based on his/her course of study," noted one commentator, highlighting the fundamental purpose of such academic exercises.
