The Senate Committee on Tertiary Education and TETFund has expressed alarm over the declining revenue available to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), which could slow infrastructure development in Nigerian tertiary institutions. During an oversight visit to Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), Lagos, the committee's chairman, Senator Mohammed Dandutshe, highlighted that the amount available for distribution to TETFund this year could be significantly lower than the previous year’s allocation.
This development could affect the pace of infrastructure development in universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education, particularly as the government continues to establish and expand tertiary institutions across the country. The committee's visit aimed to monitor project implementation, ensure transparency, and engage directly with institutions to understand the challenges affecting the delivery of quality education.
