TETFUND Unveils Groundbreaking BIMS for Tertiary Students

The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) has introduced the innovative Beneficiary Identity Management Service (BIMS), designed to optimize the identification and management processes for students and lecturers across tertiary institutions nationwide.

Speaking at a distinguished educational summit, the Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, celebrated the BIMS as a the gateway to globally recognized, world-class educational resources, inoculated by TETFund to transform Nigeria's higher education landscape.

Professor Mamman articulated BIMS's ambition to radically alter the manner in which students engage with educational services. It stands as the key access point for accreditation and authorization to the Tertiary Education Research Applications and Services platform (TERAS). The manifold advantages TERAS offers — spanning educators, students, and the wider educational community — are truly groundbreaking and demand complete engagement.

In his insightful remarks, the Executive Secretary of TETFUND, Arc. Sonny Echono, illuminated the historic roots of the TERAS platform, a beacon of innovation born from the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Echono emphasized that TERAS is a masterfully crafted system, integrating diverse, vital elements with BIMS at its nucleus. The pioneering phase of BIMS saw the remarkable enrollment of over two million students and staff from partner institutions.

Key benefits bestowed by BIMS include refined enrollment and identification methodologies, Fortified data security and exactitude, Bespoke learning experiences, Access to custom educational services and Enhanced liaison between students and educational entities.

Echono emphasized the profound impact of integrating BIMS within TERAS, forging a holistic service ecosystem that benefits institutions, faculty, and students alike. This ecosystem offers: sponsored Mobile Internet Access, plagiarism detection with EagleScan, a collection of Journal and Research Subscriptions featuring esteemed sources such as EBSCO, the pioneering Blackboard Learning Management System, digital literacy initiatives like ICDL, advanced communication training, and crucial Intervention Funding.

Anchored by BIMS, TERAS stands ready to usher in a new era for education in Nigeria. The system ensures that the upheavals introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic transform into agents of positive evolution. With TERAS's continual advancements, the horizon for Nigerian education is brilliantly luminous, pulsating with promise and potential.

Good move. Product of visionary leadership at the TETFUND. This will open opportunity for cross fertilisation of intellectual ideas and up- skilling of beneficiaries.

Another one of asiwaju visionary policies
Three gbosa for the man

🤔

Asiwaju the leader
Obi is a boy

Barakallahu fih kum.

Okay.

What people don't know is how good this policy is. No lecturer can go on strike again as schools fix their fees and pay their staffs from their IGR while the government gives students loan to study in university of their choice. Just like it is in the Western world.

All the posters above me didn't read OP. The first person made his comment and the others followed. Very typical of "my people".

Good move if you ask me

Very useless policy

Criminal idealogies everywhere

One thing that has always haunted us in this country is inadequate database and this will go a long way in addressing that in the educational sector.

Shut your Lou.....sy tr.....ap...which one is Asiwaju... visionary policy ....is it Asiwaju that introduced TETFUND?......

A very useless policy. Mtchew

This will go so far in making positive change in the nation. Very flawless initiative. Good to go.

If properly observed, it'll transform out tertiary institution

This is a good initiative, it will help student so much, this is a good one from the sector

Ok

he can burst

TETFUND.... Una no go increase IT students money?

I don't think the advantages of this on both staff and students of tertiary institutions was properly articulated.
Apar from the long grammar, there should be a clear distinct advantage as to why this was integrated!

Insufficient data management has persistently plagued our nation, particularly within the educational sector. However, implementing this solution will significantly contribute to resolving this issue.

this TETFRAUD

Too much talk and big grammar...but no action and implemetation...

. that means school fees will be very expensive in which many students cannot afford..if universities fix their school fees

Dollar is still sacre in spite of various economic measures by Tinubu administration.A bag of cement still goes for N5,000 in market in spite of Tinubu's talk and pact with BUA to bring down to N3,500.Subsidy is said to be gone but subsidy is still being paid secretlyJust wait and see to hear from students on this one too.

Okay.

Government will always pay it to serious students as long as you gained admission. You pay back when you start working or own a business generating income
