摘要：Applying the benefits of the multi-dimensionality of empowerment, using transformative paradigms to boost capacity building, within academics in Distance Higher Education (DHE), is a vital part of the re-focusing of research perspectives in African Tertiary Institutions (ATIs). How and when the transformative package is utilized for a sustainable research dividend, among the stakeholders in DHE, and within acceptable norms, calls for regular investigation. The study, therefore, using the transformative paradigms, examined how mentees and mentors’ relationship, curtails possible academic frustration, indolence, career stagnation, spiral of academic victimization and other challenges, through a symbiotism of interconnectivity employed to facilitate adequate skills acquisition. The acquisition of relevant skills was therefore, instrumental to appropriate research breakthrough, personal development (i.e. increased self-awareness, openness, positive self-image, interdependence, etc) and overall community impact, national and or the African sub-regional advancement, growth and development.
