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.

The proliferation of institutions has stretched resources thin, leading to deteriorating infrastructure and declining graduate quality,” he warned. The minister revealed alarming statistics: Nigeria currently has 72 public […]
