President Tinubu Approves Six Varsities Established By Buhari Administration

President Bola Tinubu has approved the takeoff of six out of 14 public universities established by the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, revealed this to State House Correspondents.

He mentioned that the approved universities are two colleges of agriculture, education and medicine each.

Recall that the Buhari administration approved the establishment of no fewer than 75 universities, encompassing federal, state and private institutions within seven years.

However, Mamman said the Federal Government lacked the funds and qualified staffing to kick start all institutions at once as they are capital intensive.
