Good news! All students and lecturers must read this

Universities, polytechnics and colleges of educations owned by the federal and state governments were on Tuesday presented allocation papers with which they can access this year’s Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFUND worth N135billion. Just before making the presentation, the Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau in an address disclosed that public universities will be getting N912million apiece; N661 million will go to each of the polytechnics while each college of education owned by federal and state government will be accessing N581million regular intervention funds. This happened at the 2014 Strategic Planning Workshop for benefiting institutions staged at the Idris Abdulkadir Auditorium in the National Universities Commission headquarters in Abuja. The event attracted vice chancellors, rectors, provosts and other principal officers of tertiary institutions across the country. The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission was represented, as he was said to have gone on an inspection tour of new universities in the country. At least we can now be sure there won't be ASUU or ASUP strike for the next one year.
