BENIN—PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday,
warned university administrators that the Federal
Government would no longer tolerate any form of
corruption in the education sector, saying that
anyone found wanting would be prosecuted.
This comes as the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi
II, attributed the current economic hardship in the
country to the alleged misrule of past
administrations, saying that the Federal Government
must make some difficult decisions for the nation to
survive.
The duo spoke at the Installation of HRH, Muhammad
Sanusi II as Chancellor of the University of Benin.
President Buhari, who was represented by the
Minister of Education, Alhaji Adamu Adamu, noted
that the Federal Government was prepared to inject
more funds into the education sector but warned
against the mismanagement of the funds by the
administrators.
He said: “This administration is committed to
providing funding for the university system and
indeed for the entire education sector. But I must
warn that the Federal Government will not fold its
hands and watch unscrupulous people mismanage all
the viable resources that have been put into the
sector. We will no longer tolerate this.
“The Federal Ministry of Education is to ensure that
all leakages are blocked and this is a promise that we
intend to keep. This administration is determined to
fight corruption whether in the university system or
elsewhere. Members of staff and students must be
seen to do their part in this struggle to change our
society for the better, it is not just the duty of
government. We hope that other brother countries
will support what the government is doing.
Universities must be seen to be leading by example.
Due process must not be compromised in all we do.”
Sanusi II, who became the ninth chancellor of the
institution following his installation, said that despite
the economic hardship, Nigerians must be thankful to
God for a successful election and the prevailing peace
in the country.
He said: “We had a peaceful election, we have a new
government that has the opportunity to give this
country a new lease of life. However, the government
is taking office at a time of great difficulties, oil price
crash. We are suffering due to the mismanagement of
the past. Corruption issues have placed our economy

Hope the FG will also look into those nefarious activities bedeviling and destroying the very purpose of establishing those great institutions of learning in the first, including:
-sorting lecturers to pass in monetary or sexual forms
-lecturers forcing young undergraduate females for sex if not she won't pass his course
-inadequate supply of water or power from school generators due to corruption
-poor security
-rape
-poor environmental conditions. Etc
Students pay school fees, what are these institutions using these funds for?

Please start with Prof. BARTHO OKOLO OF UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA NSUKKA........(UNN)
