The vice chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Prof. Musbau Akanji, has stressed the need for private universities in the country to benefit from Tertiary Education Fund (TETFUND).

He therefore appealed to the federal government to review the Act establishing TETFUND to accommodate the private universities in its activities.

Akanji, the pioneer vice chancellor of Al-Hikmah University Ilorin, spoke with newsmen shortly after he was honoured along other outstanding Nigerians by the university as part of activities marking its 10th year anniversary.

He added: “The first step is for all universities to imbibe the correct university culture of October to July. This has been disrupted by strikes so many years ago and some universities still find it difficult to cope. With the type of injection of funds that the federal government made available to public universities, if sustained, it is likely that the advancement of education will be assured.
