Gbenga Sodeinde in Ado Ekiti
The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) has emphasized the need for the Federal Government to abolish its existing policy on Nigerian universities and grant them complete autonomy.
The Executive Secretary of TETFUND, Sonny Echono, who expressed the concern weekend during the 9th convocation ceremony of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), punctured the government’s control of universities, despite the provisions of the Universities Autonomy Act No. 1 of 2007, which allows universities to govern themselves and manage their finances, among other responsibilities.
