ASUU Calls for Utilization of Backlog of Unspent Funds Allocated to Tertiary Education
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has called for the utilisation of backlog of unspent funds allocated to tertiary education.
ASUU warned that the continued stagnation of these resources could hinder the growth and development of the nation’s tertiary institutions.
ASUU’S position was made when the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFUND, engaged stakeholders at a one-day strategic interaction with heads of beneficiary institutions.
At the meeting, held in Abuja, yesterday, the Executive Secretary of TETFund, Mr. SONNY ECHONO said the strategic engagement intends to align efforts with stakeholders to optimize performance and enhance the quality of Nigeria’s tertiary education.
