The development is coming at a time when the nation is yet to account for the over 137 university lecturers on TETFund scholarship abroad who absconded after completing their studies.
The Federal Government has described as alarming the rising cases of abscondment by academic staff of various Nigerian universities sponsored for training in foreign countries.
Reacting to concerns raised by the Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Prof. Kabiru Bala, on the matter, the Education Minister admitted that the situation was denting the image of the country.

We said ‘how about the training cost?’ The court said ‘No, he shouldn’t pay for the training cost. Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
