Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund, Sonny Echono, addresses allegations of corruption within the agency, outlining measures to sanitize the Nigerian education sector and ensure accountability in tertiary institutions.
TETFund Denies Corruption Claims, Moves To Sanitise Tertiary Education Sector Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund , Mr Sonny Echono , has said that claims in some quarters that the agency was a cesspool of corruption were totally untrue.
On Wednesday, the Human and Environmental Development Agenda petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over alleged graft in TETFund. But denying the allegation, Chief Executive Officer of Fides Et Ratio Academy, Paul Chukwuma, on Thursday disclosed that it only entered into an agreement with TETFund on a skill training program for directors and deputy directors of information and communication technology as well as students in higher education institutions in the country.
He added that the era of collecting funds from the government purse and not utilising them for the purpose for which they were received was over. Speaking further, Echono explained that partnerships entered into with some foreign firms have helped to expand the ICT infrastructure of many tertiary institutions across Nigeria, adding that the agency does not usurp the powers of the Federal Executive Council in the award of any contract for projects.
TETFUND was established in 2011 to provide transformative interventions in public tertiary institutions in Nigeria through funding and effective project management. In the ever-evolving landscape of manufacturing, the pursuit of efficiency and productivity reigns supreme. As industries strive to optimize operations and minimize waste, the integration of Manufacturing Execution Systems with Lean Manufacturing principles has emerged as a powerful strategy.
