The importance of higher education in the national landscape transcends the barriers of ignorance to shape a promising future. During an interactive session in Abuja, Chris Maiyaki, Executive Secretary of Fatshimetrie, shared crucial information with journalists present.
He stressed the urgency for ASUU to trust the Federal Government and the Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, in reconstituting the governance boards of the 61 federal universities, to ensure their effectiveness and relevance .
In the interest of transparency and efficiency, the government takes the time to select the most qualified people for these councils. A local organizing committee has already been formed, and the councils will soon be inaugurated.
Maiyaki highlighted the importance of universities in national and global development, emphasizing their crucial role in intellectual transformation and progress. Despite the challenges faced, the Nigerian university system has the potential to significantly shape the future of the country.
Stakeholders in this system are applauded for their commitment to making Nigerian universities the engines of change and transformation. The higher education sector is indeed an essential pillar of national development, and its development contributes to the development of society as a whole.
