President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday in Abuja assented to two separate bills establishing the Federal University of Agriculture and Development Studies, Iragbiji, Osun State and the Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences, Iyin Ekiti, Ekiti State.

President Tinubu said these specialised institutions will address the educational needs of the populace while driving research and innovation and contributing to the country’s overall economic growth and development.

He said the institutions will serve as training grounds for developing agriculture, science and technology professionals and enhancing Nigeria’s competitiveness in the global economy.

According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Nigeria currently has 63 approved federal universities, 63 State universities, and 149 private universities.

On February 3, 2025, the President approved establishing the Federal University of Environment and Technology (FUET) in Ogoni town of Tai, Rivers State.

The President also consented to the Federal Government’s takeover of a forfeited private university in Southern Kaduna and its transformation into a federal university.

Are you talking from experience,just speaking nonsense how many medical schools did you visit across the North? Who tell you every society is like your South that takes Fornication for nothing? Young People are being hailed by friends for engaging in sex,you guys brag openly about it and it's no longer a big deal but a common occurrence.
Before generalising please,come with evidence,the North might be called backward but if there is anything we still maintain in the core north is our decency,It can happen elsewhere but not in our Medical Schools where no nonsense lectures are at the helm of affairs.

Over here we don't see sex as achievement.

Yorubas in kogi(Okuns) are Predominantly Christians. I can bet my black as$ on that. I'm yet to see A Muslim from Ekiti and Ondo State. Of cuz, I know u have heard the saying by the Ijebus that goes thus: ijebu lo ni Jesu. My own State of Origin(Osun) has more Christians. Oyo is too close to call. Apart from kwara that has Almost 70% Muslim population in Yoruba land, which other state supports ur lie lie claims in SW?

Leemzyy:

Funke Akindele's movies is always featuring Yoruba and Igbos. Aside that, her stories are wonderful, marketing is good and she releases her movies in festive periods. Little wonder why it made so much money.

BTW, I think If not that the north has its own industry!
She for feature the three main tribes and make the best out of it!

Yet! Some people are still on Nairaland fighting tribal wars.

Tribalism is really a poor man's disease!
