Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) is set to disburse a total of N3 billion each to six public universities under its Special High Impact Intervention.
The special intervention is usually at the discretion of the Board of Trustees for which allocations are zonal-based and are done equitably by the Board as enshrined in the enabling Act.
The disbursement plan, Echono said, is to give each university in the six geo-political zones N3 billion, while N1 billion would go to each polytechnic and each College of Education from each of the six geo-political zones. “Also, Plateau State COE, Federal COE, Yola, Federal COE, Zaria, Enugu State COE, Delta State COE and Taiye Solarin COE are to get N1 billion each,” Echono said.
“Last year we released intervention in 20 institutions and the hostels have been completed. Another 20 institutions are ready this year, that is one of the importance of the special impact project.”
