President Goodluck Jonathan has stated that the
federal government alone would not be able to fully fund all the
universities in the country.
He, therefore, urged university authorities to seek enhanced funding
through partnership with relevant agencies, foreign donors and
organizations to augment the funding by government.
President Jonathan spoke weekend in Makurdi, the Benue State
capital, at the 20th convocation ceremony and silver jubilee
anniversary of the Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi,
FUAM.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of
Education, Mr. Macjohn Monye, he said, “government alone cannot
fully fund all the universities in the country. I urge the various
universities to partner foreign donors and also embark on activities
that would enhance their funding.”
