TETFund lauds Tinubu’s govt for speedy fund approvals
Sonny Echono, executive secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), has appreciated President Bola Tinubu’s administration for the speedy approval of funding for the development of tertiary education.
Mr Echono spoke at the 2025 management retreat in Yola on Thursday with the theme “Advancing TETFund Mandate For Efficient Service Delivery In Beneficiary Institutions.”
He said that under Mr Tinubu’s administration, funds for the development of tertiary education across benefiting institutions had been approved swiftly.
“As I am speaking, even the 2026 intervention guidelines have been approved by Mr President, so we are ready to hit the ground running.
“That is why we are here to work out a strategy for effective implementation,” he said.
Ibrahim Umar, vice chancellor, Modibbo Adama University (MAU), Yola, appreciated TETFund’s support for benefiting institutions.
According to him, without TETFund funds, many institutions would have collapsed.
He appealed to TETFund to come to the aid of institutions in addressing road network and security challenges, especially the kidnapping of lecturers.
Mohammed Dagereji, provost of the Federal College of Education (FEC), Yola, also thanked TETFund for all its interventions and appealed for more support in the areas of security, power, and internet services.
Augustine Clement, vice chancellor, Adamawa State University, appreciated the management of TETFund for the retreat and assured it that the institutions would continue to use the funds allocated to them judiciously.
The executive secretary also inaugurated some TETFund projects at Modibbo Adama University (MAU).
