The Million dollar bank in every university

Walk into any Ghanaian university library and ask to see the thesis section. You will find shelves of bound, dusty manuscripts — years of original thinking, much of it never opened again after the viva. We call this archiving. I call it a vault with no key. Somewhere in those shelves sits an idea that could be a business, a policy, or a product. Nobody is mining it. Nobody is paying for it. And nobody — not the student who built it, not the university that housed it — is getting richer because of it.
