President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, has slammed governors for establishing state universities they cannot fund.

ASUU National President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke

Osodeke, who made the allegation in an interview on Channels Television’s ”The Morning Brief” programme yesterday, said: “Any governor today establishing a university is eyeing TETFund as a source of funding.” “TETFund was created as an intervention fund, not the major funding. The universities belong to the federal government and the government is supposed to fund them and states are supposed to fund their own.

The ASUU president said a structure should be created to carry stakeholders along in the process of how the money was allocated and spent openly and transparently.
