Olusharp:
The Federal Government through
the Minister Of Education, Mallam
Adamu Adamu, represented by the
Director of Tertiary Education, Hajiya
Fatima Ahmad had urged public
Institutions to seek alternative
funding due to the recession, he
also adviced institution to increase
the level Information
Communication Technology, as the
World had move from a normal
class to a Digital class.
He said, "Resource constraint is a
challenge we are facing. However,
the reality for now is the effective
and efficient management of all
resources available –human,
material or financial. I would also
want to urge you to come up with a
framework for funding tertiary
education to augment the statutory
sources which are not adequate.
This is critical because education, as
we all know, is a critical nexus in the
development process.
“With the present drive for global
comparability and harmonisation of
tertiary education qualifications, ICT
deployment is a must feature in our
educational institutions. The current
deployment is low and most
education officials lack ICT skills.
“There is also a shortage of ICT
personnel across the nation. Issues
of broadband and power outages
are constraining factors that
government is trying to address.
However, we must look out for
alternative support because
government cannot do it alone.”
The issue of alternative funding was
also stressed by the Senate
President who was represented by
the Chairman, Senate Committee on
Education and Tertiary Education
Trust Fund, Jibrin Bala, who pledged
the support of the Senate to making
laws to further assist the education
sector.

No sir, this is partial privatisation. Alternative funding can come in form of research grants, sports, products manufacturing and products improvement to companies. plenty other ways to.

Good one.
I did not see it that way.

Is part of the restructuring people talk about, institutionalization and independent of organizations for good development

Fed govt should be privatized. It is evident that the uselessness is too deep seated

Government alone cannot fund quality education. This universities must be relevant enough to generate funds for industry. So for once this minister is on point.
