BUHARI DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT POOR RANKING OF NIGERIAM VARSITIES — TETFUND The Executive secretary, Tertiary Education Trust Fund(TETFund), Professor Suleiman Bogoro has said that the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, is deeply concerned about the poor ranking of Nigerian Universities. Webometrics latest global (July) ranking placed the best Nigerian University, the University of Ibadan as the 1196th best University in the world, followed by Covenant University Ota which came 1314th university in the world. However, Bogoro, while speaking at a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of TETFund in Abuja, reeled out some key areas of intervention funds allocated to the beneficiary institutions, which were aimed at upgrading them to world class institutions. Aside from the normal interventions, TETFund has, under the High Impact Projects, invested over N109 billion in public universities, polytechnics and Colleges of Education to support their emergence as centres of excellence. The Fund has also constructed multi-media teaching laboratories in 58 federal and state Colleges of Education with the rehabilitation and equipment of laboratories in 51 federal and state polytechnics as part of its commitment to making tertiary institutions in Nigeria become globally competitive in teaching, learning, research and innovation. The Executive Secretary noted that the funds allocated were aimed at enabling the tertiary institutions become world-class institutions, thereby improving on their global ranking, a situation he said was of deep concern to President Buhari who is determined to reverse the trend. Speaking on the efforts to make Nigerian tertiary institutions globally competitive, Bogoro said: “TETFund has also been providing support for teaching practice in federal and state colleges of education across the country. “So far, the Fund has supported over 71,263 lecturers under its Teachers’ Supervision Programme. “Considering the vital role that libraries play in educational institutions, TETFund has also allocated substantial funds to public federal and state tertiary institutions for the acquisition of library books, e-library resources and academic manuscript development to books in order to promote and support research, teaching and learning. “So far, the Fund has procured over 2,080,041 books for use in the libraries, 152,844 e-resources and 380,778 equipment as well as furniture were distributed across public tertiary institutions in Nigeria. “I am pleased to inform you that the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, and President Muhammadu Buhari have approved that TETFund should complete the National Library which symbolises institutional repository of knowledge and research globally.” “In 2011, the Fund launched the National Research Fund (NRF) with a seed fund of N3b as its take-off grant to support cutting edge research in areas of critical national need and development; and in 2015, N1b was added. Following the approval of TETFund Board of Trustees in 2019, the NRF allocation became annual and N5b was approved for that year. “In 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari approved additional 50 per cent increase in allocation to the NRF, being N7.5b for that year and N8.5b in 2021. “So far, a total sum of N9b has been accessed by lecturers to finance their research activities. A total of 457 research projects have been approved across the country, some have been completed while some are still ongoing. “Apart from the above intervention mentioned, the Fund also allocates funds on an annual basis to support Academic Research Journals and institution Based Research (IBR) for research projects that are not more than N2Million per project across public tertiary institutions. “So far, about 2,175 projects have been approved for Institution Based Research and 342 Academic Research Journal projects were undertaken between 2011 and 2021,” he stated.

DELSU STUDENTS ACCUSE VC, BURSAR OF EXTORTION Delta University Students Accuse Vice-Chancellor, Bursar Of Extortion, Collecting N4,000 Each For Magazine they never received. The students of Delta State University Abraka, have accused their vice-chancellor, Andy Egwunyenga, and the bursar, Justice Egbare of extortion. According to the students, the alleged extortion has been going for almost 2 years. The students disclosed that every 100 level student or fresher is forced to pay N4,000 and the students do clearance after graduation for schools magazine- DELSU@25- which they never get. According to the students, the alleged extortion has been going on for almost two years. The students alleged that 100 level students or freshers are compelled and students doing clearance after graduation are compelled to pay N4,000 for the school’s magazine –DELSU @ 25– which they never get. Speaking to newsmen, a new student of the Delta State University, Oleh campus, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation, disclosed that in March 2021, he and other new students were compulsorily made to pay N4,000 for the school’s magazine, known as ‘DELSU @ 25’ which was not given to them. The student said, “As we talk, the magazine is moribund but still the VC and the bursar forced new intakes to pay the N4,000 each for the same moribund magazine, ‘Delta @ 25’ that we don’t see till we graduate. Even those doing clearance after graduation are made to pay this N4,000. “That is, if you escaped it at your 100 level registration. Others and I paid the N4,000 in March this year during my 100 level registration and while others paid theirs in February this year into the school’s Unity Bank account after which you go and convert the payment into DELSU receipt which I just gave to you now.” Another student in 200 level, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the payment of the N4,000 for the school’s magazine. The student said the magazine had not been given to her till date, describing the act as “a serious fraud going on unnoticed in the institution, especially in the bursary department headed by Egbare”. “The school magazine, ‘Delta @ 25’ has been rested for some time now following some disagreements between the Vice-Chancellor and those in charge of the magazine publication because it was given out as a contract. But even as the magazine has been rested, the VC and the bursar still collect N4,000 each from new students who don’t get to sight a copy of the magazine which they have paid for. This is a serious fraud against the students. This fraud is committed yearly,” the student said. A graduate of the school who is currently doing his clearance at the institution in Abraka, displayed a document showing a payment of N4,000 made in favour of the institution. He said the sum of N4,000 was allegedly extorted from him by the school’s authority on Tuesday, December 2, 2021 when he went for his clearance in Abraka. “The magazine was not given to me,” he noted. “This is a draft showing payment I made in favour of the school at the bursary department. You can see in the draft, a total sum of N29,000 was paid, N4,000 was for the institution’s magazine called ‘DELSU @ 25’ that we don’t ever see, N15,000 was paid for a certificate while N10,000 was for the penalty for late clearance for collection of the certificate as shown in the draft. “Students are being made to pay this N4,000 every session for a magazine they don’t see till eternity. Graduates doing clearance are also forced to pay this N4,000 for the same magazine that is not in existence. Is that not fraud and a corrupt practice? This is how the VC and the bursar have continued to extort innocent students yearly,” the student said. New students and graduates of the institution have however cried out to the state governor Ifeanyi Okowa and the general public to prevail on the VC and the bursar to stop the alleged extortion and refund all the money so far allegedly extorted from them. Speaking with SaharaReporters on the issue, an official of TONDEK Agency, the firm publishing the institution’s magazine, ‘DELSU @ 25’, Anthony Arugba, described the N4,000 payment for the institution’s magazine by the students as a ‘monumental fraud’ going on in the school. Arugba said, “’DELSU @ 25’ publication is a contract from the institution but solely initiated and financed by TONDEK Agency with a life span of five years. However, shortly after the Vice-Chancellor, Andy Egwunyenga took over, he willfully breached the terms of the MoU, and when his opinion was sought on the issue, he boasted that he owed nobody an apology and that whatever agreement reached by his predecessor, died with the man that initiated the agreement, irrespective of the fact that the agreement was reached between the Agency and the University. “As of this day, Egwunyenga has blatantly refused to acknowledge every effort Tondek has made to reconcile the account with the university. “It is even strange that Egwunyenga who openly described the anniversary magazine as ‘useless and outdated’, has continued to connive with the school’s bursar, Justice Egbare, to extort the sum of N4,000 each for the magazine from new students, those doing clearance after graduation, as well as those applying for certificates. “What even makes the whole action somewhat fraudulent is that apart from his sheer refusal to remit Tondek’s share of the proceeds, a number of new students who paid for the magazine, particularly in Oleh campus of the university, were never issued the magazines till date. Therefore, what he has done could be likened to obtaining under false pretences. Does such action by Egwunyenga amount to honesty or fraud? Your guess is as good as mine!”

```“FG is blackmailing Us,” says ASUU as they postpone the decision on strike``` The Academic Staff Union of Universities has postponed its decision on strike, saying that consultations are still ongoing. This was contained in a press statement issued by the union after its National Executive Council meeting. The meeting held at its Festus Iyayi National Secretariat, University of Abuja, on Saturday, December 18, 2021 to review the level of government’s implementation of the FGN-ASUU Memorandum of Action of December 23, 2020 and other related matters. In the press statement titled, ‘Enough of blackmail’, signed by ASUU president, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, the lecturers regretted that the Federal Government had turned its back on the plan to set up an inter-ministerial committee to review the draft Renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement. Part of the statement read, “NEC was worried by the spirited efforts of government agents to reduce the demands of ASUU to a regime of intermittent payment of watered-down revitalisation fund and release of distorted and grossly devalued Earned Academic Allowances. “ASUU shall not relent in demanding improvement in the welfare and conditions of service of our members. However, we shall resist any attempt to blackmail the union and derail our patriotic struggle for a productive university system by official propaganda founded on tokenism and crumb-sharing. “NEC concluded that government has failed to satisfactorily address all the issues raised in the 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement and subsequent MoUs and MoAs. “However, considering the ongoing intervention and consultation efforts, NEC resolved to review the situation at a later date with a view to deciding on the next line of action.”
