Adamu said this yesterday in Abuja while inaugurating the governing councils of new eight federal polytechnics and six federal colleges of education.
He said one key role of the council would be to ensure the judicious utilisation of the “limited funds allocated by government” to the institutions. The minister also charged the councils to think out of the box and endeavour to generate more revenue, outside government allocations, noting that the government cannot provide all the funds required to run federal polytechnics and colleges of education.“In this regard, councils should enlist the support of philanthropic organisations, individuals and other sources of revenue through endowment for additional funding of their institutions, ‘’ he said.
He further charged the councils to respect the principle of federal character in the appointment of members of staff. He decried that some polytechnics and colleges of education have become parochial and primordial enclaves and the concept of universalism in education has been jettisoned, especially in matters regarding staff employment. “The councils should work with the Federal Character Commission to ensure compliance”, he said.
Adamu noted that the appointment of chairmen and members of governing councils from among people with proven integrity and experience in education and administration is one of the strategies for addressing the issues and challenges of tertiary education.
