….Bars defaulting institutions from 2027 funding

By Joseph Erunke, Abuja

The Tertiary Education Trust Fund,TETFund, has wielded the big stick against beneficiary tertiary institutions that have failed to complete intervention projects.

It also announced that institutions with lingering abandoned or delayed projects would be shut out of new project approvals under the 2027 intervention cycle.

The tough stance was adopted by the Board of Trustees, BoT, of the Fund as part of sweeping measures aimed at ending years of project delays, cost overruns and poor implementation that have undermined the impact of TETFund interventions across Nigeria’s tertiary institutions.
