President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration is committed to putting into effect a strategy that will grant Nigerian universities total autonomy.
Engineer Abubakar Momoh, the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, made the President’s speech last weekend at the 48th University of Benin commencement in Benin City, according to Anaedoonline.ng.
The Nigerian president was of the opinion that giving colleges more autonomy would greatly raise the standard of higher learning.

Although Tinubu acknowledged that university autonomy places direct accountability for performance on each individual institution, he expressed his administration’s optimism that the institution had made the right move.
In order to ensure excellent service delivery, the President reiterated his commitment to modernising postsecondary educational institutions and the education sector.
“Our administration is poised to change the narrative of higher education for the better and to place the institution of higher learning on a pedestal that would enable them to compete with their counterparts across the world,” he said.
Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, for his part, pledged that first-class graduates from Edo origin will automatically find work in the state’s civil and public sector.
