JUST IN: FG Freezes New Federal Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges for Seven Years

The Federal Government has placed a seven-year ban on establishing new federal universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education, in what it describes as a bold move to tackle falling standards and crumbling infrastructure in Nigeria’s tertiary education sector. Minister of Education Dr. Tunji Alausa announced the moratorium on Wednesday after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Alausa said the suspension — which covers all categories of federal tertiary institutions — will curb duplication, eliminate waste, and allow government to concentrate resources on rehabilitating facilities, improving manpower, and expanding capacity in existing schools. “Access to tertiary education is no longer Nigeria’s problem.

The minister revealed alarming statistics: Nigeria currently has 72 public […]
