Federal Government Set To Upgrade All Universities

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has approved the implementation of recommendations of an investigative report on the upgrade of physical standards of all public universities owned by both the Federal and States government.

This was made known by Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo, during an official presentation of the 2012 Federal Ministry of Education Annual Report, which held yesterday at the National Universities Commission, Abuja.

The Vice President said the recommendations were reviewed earlier by the National Economic Council, adding that, “This is to ensure that our higher institutions of learning maintain the best of facilities and resources.  We must be in a position to produce graduates with the skills and competences to compete at the world stage.”
