Federal Government restates commitment to N1.3 trillion universities grant

15:48:00 0


The Federal Government on Saturday restated its commitment to earmark N1.3 trillion as intervention grant to public universities on the platform of National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy, NEEDS, Assessment Programme.

The Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau, said this in an interactive dinner in Abuja on Saturday, noting that the grant is for five years.
He said that the NEEDS Assessment intervention was a fall-out of several deliberations between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

“We have persistent complaints from for our universities about dilapidated laboratories and so on; then the government took the bull by the horn.
“President Goodluck Jonathan set up a committee to go round the universities on the platform of NEEDS Assessment which was conducted two years ago.
“At the end of the assessment, the universities came up with a bill of N1.3 trillion required to address the necessary need in public universities and government accepted it.
“Since the government cannot dish out N1.3 trillion all at once, there was an agreement between the Federal Government and the leadership of the ASUU that the needs be addressed over a period of five years with a provision of 220 billion every year,’’ he said.
Mr. Shekarau said that the first phase of N220 billion was released early in 2014, adding that there were still some few universities that had yet to access their share of the grant.
According to him, the NEEDS intervention is in addition to normal budgetary allocations to universities and TETFund interventions, among others.
The minister said that similar assessments had been completed for public polytechnics and colleges of education.

Mr. Shekarau said that the focus of President Jonathan on education was to increase access and build capacity with quality education.
He said that the government had demonstrated its desire for improved education by establishing 12 new universities.
He noted that it was first time in the history of Nigeria when such number of universities would be established at a time.

The education minister said the Federal Government also approved nine new private universities recently while there were plans to approve another nine private universities across the country.
“If not for technical reason, another nine would have been approved; when we sort all issues out, they will be approved; this will bring to 18 the number of private universities approved in the last three years,” he said.
He said that stakeholders attested that what the present government had committed into universities, polytechnics and colleges of education surpassed what had been done in the last two decades.
Earlier, MacJohn Nwaobiala, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, commended the media for effective coverage of the education sector.
According to him, the media plays an important role in keeping the public informed about government policies and their implementation.
Ima Niboro, the Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, commended the minister for restoring stability in the institutions of learning within a short period of assumption of office.

Represented by Funke Lawal, the Deputy Editor-in-Chief and Head of Editorial Operations, NAN, Abuja, Mr. Niboro said that the education sector could not thrive if there was no stability in the schools.
He pledged on behalf the media that that Federal Government would continue to receive comprehensive reportage of its activities in the education sector.
