Bogoro’s LEADERSHIP award well-deserved – PSC

The Presidential Support Committee (PSC) has congratulated the executive secretary, Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Prof Elias Suleiman Bogoro, on the Public Service Person of the Year 2019 award conferred on him by LEADERSHIP Group Limited, saying it is a well-deserved honour.

 This was contained in a statement issued Sunday in Abuja by its director of communication and strategic planning, Malam Gidado Ibrahim.

It described the award as “a testimony to the arduous work Bogoro is doing at TETFund in promoting transparency and accountability in the conduct of public affairs in Nigeria.”

The statement read in part, “The award conferred on Prof Suleiman Elias Bogoro’s explains his re-appointment on the April 21, 2019, by President Muhammadu Buhari. The president knew that he was all that is needed to revamp the ailing fortune of education sector in Nigeria, which has been on the downward trend in the last few decades.

“The president’s decision to recall him was definitely informed by the confidence he has in the capacity and track records of the erudite scholar to rescue the nation’s education system. So far, with his humble, calm and calculative mien, Prof Bogoro has continued to prove his critics wrong. Times and tides have tested and proven his character, as investigations into the phantom and spurious allegation against him crumbled like pack of cards.

“It is incontrovertible that Bogoro has been highly rated as demonstrated by the LEADERSHIP award having keyed into President Buhari’s fight against corruption ahead of others and has won accolades as one of the incorruptible officers in recent times.

“TEFund today is celebrating the impact and improved ranking of Nigerian higher institutions internationally because of his intensive interventionist approach in the nation’s tertiary institutions.”
