The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has called for the judicious use of interventions by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFund, resources to tertiary institutions to foster development.
ASUU President, Prof EMMANUEL OSODEKE, made this appeal at the inauguration of the TETFund Board of Trustees (BOT) and the Governing Councils in Abuja by the Minister of Education, Prof. TAHIR MAMMAN.
He lamented that the funds are not currently being used effectively; pointing out that many projects on campuses from as far back as 2014 and 2015 remained incomplete.
According to him, TETFund is the only thing sustaining tertiary education in Nigeria, adding that the country’s educational system was in a dire state and required transformation.
