In a bid to sustain the tempo of human and infrastructural development in the nation’s tertiary institutions, the Tertiary Education Fund has this year disbursed over N300 billion this year to about 226 tertiary institutions in the country for staff training and development of various infrastructure.
He disclosed that in 10 years of TetFund, the agency has more than 10,000 projects to its credit across the various tertiary institutions in the country. Speaking about efforts in academic staff training and development, the Tetfund chairman said, “In the past 10 years, Tetfund has successfully trained more than 30,000 lecturers across the country for masters and PhD programmes locally and internationally.
Nevertheless, Ibrahim-Imam said there was, “need for various institutions to examine, evaluate the costs of staff training abroad and resolved to look inward for more staff to be trained locally,” in the light of the depreciating value of naira to major international currencies.
