The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on University Education, Abubakar Hassan Fulata has promised that his committee will take necessary steps to address the challenge arising from the non-implementation of presidential directives removing universities and other tertiary institutions from IPPIS.
Fulata made this known after the committee's meeting with the Chairman, Conference Committee of Vice-Chancellors in Nigeria, Professor Lilian Imuetinyan Salami at the National Assembly on Wednesday. Salami is also the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin.
He noted that if President Bola Tinubu can approve the removal of universities and other tertiary institutions from IPPIS, reconstitute the councils and boards for higher institutions as well as recent approval of 50 percent subsidy on electricity tariff for hospitals and tertiary institutions, he is optimistic that the issue of non-implementation of the directive on IPPIS will be addressed.
