By giving universities the freedom to look for new sources of money for their operations, the government, according to Minister of Education Prof. Tahir Mamman, is determined to launch a new innovative method of paying tertiary education.
At the Nigerian Annual Education Conference (NAEC) with the topic, “Implementation of Education 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Nigeria,” he made this statement yesterday in Abuja.
The conference, according to him, would cover new developments including finance for higher education, university autonomy, and the Students Loans Fund, all of which are exactly in line with President Bola Tinubu’s vision for the field.

He said the theme of the conference would always remain relevant until the country achieves 100 percent of the targets set in the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and beyond to education-related indicators and targets of Agenda 2060 of the African Union.
“As a signatory to the SDG 2030 and AU Agenda 2060, Nigeria must continue to demonstrate its commitment to achieving these goals through leadership and ownership of the implementation process. The education sector is one of the line sectors that ensure that planning and budgeting in the country are within the framework of the SDGS,” he said.
The minister said, “In proposing and developing implementation strategies, also provide for mechanisms for constant monitoring and evaluation, to ensure goals are achieved.”
