The Governor has praised TETFund for helping state-owned universities by providing infrastructure and staff training, according to a statement released by SSG Press Secretary Shuaibu Abdullahi.
Buni said that the Fund’s intervention programs had been of great help in raising education standards across the State.
His comments included, “the complementary role of TETFund in that direction, is commendable,” and “the State Government has been doing its best to provide the necessary facilities and grant scholarships.”
