The World Bank has released the first tranche of payment, totalling N1.4bn, to 10 Nigerian universities listed among the African Centres of Excellence.

The fund is for the ACE project to shore up the
ranking of the universities in agriculture, health,
science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

The Executive Secretary of National Universities
Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie, who said this at the
ACE project post-effectiveness workshop on Monday in Abuja, warned the benefiting institutions against compromising the objectives of the scheme.
Nigerian universities had won 10 out of the 19 slots
for Africa.

The benefiting universities are the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta; Bayero University, Kano; Benue State University, and the Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State.

Others are the University of Jos; Ahmadu Bello
University, Zaria; University of Benin; University of
Port Harcourt, and the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State.

Okojie said, “The success of the ACE project holds the prospect of favourable global ranking for Nigerian universities and the nation cannot afford to toy with the opportunity.

“The feat of a Nigerian university, which assisted in
checking the spread and scourge of the Ebola Virus
Disease when it broke out in the country, would have ordinarily earned Nigeria a top place among world universities.”

The NUC secretary added that investigations had
commenced to identify universities offering online
degrees with a view to checking their illicit
operations.

The ACE project, inaugurated in 2014 by the
governments of Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Republic of
Benin, Ghana, Cameroon, Togo and Senegal, is to
promote regional development challenges in the
participating countries.
