The Civil Society Coalition For Transparency (CSCT) has commended the impact of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) projects in the Nigeria education section under the leadership of the Executive Secretary, Prof. Suleiman Bogoro while charging him to beware of saboteurs who may was to hinder his strides in the sector.

The group in a statement by the President, Comrade Mike Femi, at the weekend in Abuja, said the efforts of the Fund has given Nigerian tertiary education a face-lift through its various infrastructural development, thereby giving Nigerian students a more conducive learning environment.

He said President Muhammadu Buhari’s reappointment of Prof. Bogoro, as Executive Secretary TETFund is rewarding, as he has achieved a major stride in the sector as he has help re-shape and develop the nation’s education system.

He therefore called on the government to improve funding for the agency for greater performance, while calling on the executive secretary to be focus and beware of saboteurs so as not to get distracted by their activities in an attempt to frustrate his efforts.

“We consequently call on other relevant bodies in the nation’s education sector to emulate TETFund and join hands with Bogoro for better success. We no doubt believe that the administration of Prof. Suleiman Bogoro will achieve the next level agenda of Mr. President in the education sector. Because his commitment to content development, research and development in our tertiary institutions is unprecedented.

We will be working with him so as to achieve his dream for the Agency, as his vision and determination to improve the nation’s education system for better global rankings and recognition is in line with our Coalition’s key values.
