News - Provost wants monotechnics included in TET Fund

[TGD]

  

PROVOST of the Jigawa State School of Legal and Islamic Studies, Dr. Abbas Abubakar Abbas, has urged the Federal Government to include monotechnics in the Tertiary Education Trust (TET) Fund.

He made the call at the weekend shortly after the matriculation of new students for 2012/2013 session.

According to Abba, "The ETF intervention has a great impact on the development of nonotechnics across the country through the provision of scholarships to the lecturers, financing of research works, building of administrative blocks, lecture rooms and other working materials, which enhance the standard of the colleges and the quality of education impacted on their students".

He added: "Excluding monotechnics from accessing TET Fund intervention started in 2010, and from that time to date, the negative impacts of the exclusion have manifested in the colleges. Therefore, I am using this medium to call on the Federal Government to look into the matter and rescind the decision in the interest of the country".
