Tinubu stop the Implementation of Eight Universities Approved by Buhari, Gives Reasons
The Federal Government has announced plans to implement only six of the 14 federal tertiary institutions established just before the end of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Tracknews Media reports that this disclosure was made by the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa in Abuja on Wednesday.
Mamman explained that the decision to stagger the implementation of the institutions was due to issues of funding and staff.
He said, “There are quite a number of universities and other institutions which were approved in the last days of the last administration, which because of issues of funding and even staff, it may not be prudent to get these institutions to take off altogether at once.
“So, Mr. President has directed we stagger their commencement (their takeoff) whether the government can properly support them.”
The minister said the government would start with six of the institutions, two each in agriculture, education and medicine.
“Ordinarily we would have said we’ll review whether we should actually go ahead with that, but most of them are specialized institutions; colleges of education, agriculture, medicine and they are institutions that will support some of the mandates, the priority areas of this government,” he said.
“We will have a need for trained teachers which colleges of education will provide and the same thing with agriculture.”
Mamman also revealed that President Tinubu has given approval for the completion of the abandoned multibillion-naira National Library Complex in Abuja.
