University EducationJonathan's TETFund saved Nigeria from'brain evacuation'— Bogoro

Nigerian would have lost all the best brains to foreign countries if theTertiary Education Trust Fund(TETFund) had not been formed as an intervention agency by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Executive Secretary of TETFund, ProfessorSuleiman Bogoro, said this during an interview withDaily Trustin Abuja.

According to him, strikes by theAcademic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) led to the Fund's establishment, and better fortunes for education at the tertiary level.

"If the early ASUU strikes had not led to the establishment of TETFund and improved salary structure for lecturers, like someone said, there would not be brain drain, but brain evacuation," Bogoro said. "Nobody that sees himself, as an intellectual would have wanted to teach in Nigerian universities.
Bogoro said the Fund made the Nigerian institutions attractive enough to keep the best brains interested. "As a result of the sustained intervention and improved funding in our tertiary institutions, today we can afford to keep first class graduates in the system.
"Ten to 15 years ago, our first class graduates in courses like mechanical engineering, medicine would prefer to go into banking than teach.
"These were terribly negative signals that TETFund has helped nip in the bud."
He added that the Fund has over the years helped in training academic staff in the institutions.
“We have done a lot also in the area of academic staff development, by sending out this class of people to different universities within the country and abroad including Ivy League institutions, to better their lot, by acquiring masters and doctorate."
TETFund was formed in 2011 under the TETFund ACT, 2011, charged with the responsibility for managing, disbursing and monitoring the education tax to public tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

A lawmaker representing Kazaure Federal constituency at the House of Representatives,Mohammed Gudaji, has said President Muhammadu Buhari may forget that he promised to provide free education to Nigerians.

Speaking in Dutse, Gudaji said he felt the need, as a lawmaker and member of theAll Progressives Congress(APC), to remind the President of what he said during his campaign.

According to him Buhari's many engagement may cause him to forget, hence the need for a reminder.

"As you might be aware, things will be too much on our President as such he may likely forget with this vital promise he made of providing free education if voted into power," Gudaji said.

"There is urgent need to alert him so that parents will stop taking their children to private schools and end up paying exorbitant amount as school fees of their wards."

The lawmaker noted that free education would be a relief to parents because the cost of private education is very high

He however urged Nigerians to be patient for the expected change to happen.
It will be recalled that Nigeria's First Lady,Aisha Buhari, said education is the main focus of her husband’s government
