Newly appointed Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), Prof. Suleiman Bogoro, has assured Nigerians that the fund will continue to provide an enabling environment for infrastructural development of tertiary institutions.
Prof. Bogoro, who made the pledge over the weekend in Abuja in an interview with newsmen, declared that the agency, in line with its mandate as an intervention agency, would not relent in its drive to provide basic infrastructure that would develop Nigeria’s tertiary institutions.
According to him, lack of basic infrastructure has been identified as a major challenge that often leads to industrial actions by tertiary institutions and consequently; under development in the education sector.
