ASUU Calls for Judicious Use of TETFund Resources by Tertiary Insitutions

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.

Nigerian Nurses Groan Over The Continuous Closure of Verification Portal

 Hundreds of Nigerian nurses are stranded following the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, NMCN, continuous closure of its portal for verification of nurses’ certificates.

It was gathered that while many nurses are currently stranded in different countries abroad, others are on the verge of being deported.

Nursing boards in the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the UK are said to have stopped accepting nursing certificates from Nigerian nurses because they cannot verify their authenticity.

Reports revealed that the National Assembly had twice urged the NMCN to open its site and commence verification of Nurses and Midwives based on its former guidelines pending the conclusion of an investigation by the House Committee on Health Institutions but the council is yet to heed the resolution of the House.

However, when Inspiration FM News reached out to the Caretaker Committee Chairman of National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) in Akwa Ibom State, Comrade UDUAK NDEM, it was stated that the relevant authorities are deliberating on the matter.
