• Launches Abuja Leadership Centre Lecture Series
Kuni Tyessi in Abuja
The Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Dr. Sonny Echono, has called for a strict merit-based system in the appointment of Vice-Chancellors across Nigeria’s federal universities.
Echono who stated this while delivering a public lecture on Research Findings at the University of Abuja yesterday, also warned that political interference in leadership selection undermines academic excellence, institutional stability and good governance in the tertiary education sector.
The lecture was organised by the Abuja Leadership and Governance Centre with the theme: “Leadership Selection Process and Governance of Federal Universities in Nigeria (1993-2024).”
