President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities , Emmanuel Osodeke, has criticised governors for founding state universities they cannot adequately fund.
Osodeke explained that TETFund is intended to serve as an intervention fund for public universities. However, politicians and civil servants have been misusing it as a lucrative source of money through corrupt procurement processes and contract fraud. He stressed the need for a structured process that includes all stakeholders to ensure transparent allocation and expenditure of funds.
“Any day we give up like others, our public universities will be gone,” he warned, accusing Federal Government officials of neglecting the deteriorating state of the tertiary education system and ignoring ASUU’s longstanding demands.
