TETFund enlists Edo varsity for intervention

The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) has enlisted Edo State University Iyamho as beneficiary of its annual intervention.

The Executive Secretary of TETFund, Professor Suleiman Elias Bagoro,  who spoke through TETFund Director, Strategic Planning and Development, Barrister Ifiok Ukim, said the move followed the university’s request.

Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Emmanuel Aluyor, thanked the Board of Trustees and management of TETFund for finding the university worthy of enlistment. He promised that the school will be a worthy partner in the relationship with the education agency.

The VC said the university is looking forward to building more beautiful, tasty and classy environment where lectures are delivered in temperature-controlled classrooms/lecture theatres with cutting edge multimedia facilities.

Continuing, Aluyor said: “The university hopes to increase its contribution in putting research works in the public domain by ensuring that the intervention from TETFund is adequately deployed to research with a view to finding solutions to the challenges being faced in the country.

“There is no gainsaying the fact that with this TETFund enlistment of the university is poised to take delivery of a full package of the latest technologies, in the field of medicine, science as well as other related courses, in becoming the beacon of academic excellence in not only Nigeria but globally.

“Besides, this enlistment will no doubt put to rest the ownership and withdrawal of operational license rumour of Edo University Iyamho which was recently in the social media because only federal and state-owned institutions are qualified to be enlisted.”
