The Federal Government has disbursed fifty billion Naira to the academic and non-academic staff unions of federal universities for the settlement of earned allowances as promised by President Bola Tinubu.
The Minister of Education, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, who made this known in a statement, described the development as another testament to President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to transform Nigeria’s education sector.
Dr. Alausa said it reflects the administration’s bold resolve to transition the nation from a resource-based to a knowledge-based economy through strategic investments in education, infrastructure, and human capital.
He expressed President Bola Tinubu’s appreciation to both academic and non-academic unions for their sustained trust in his administration and for fostering an atmosphere of peace and cooperation across Nigeria’s federal institutions.
The Minister stated that the country was currently experiencing one of the longest uninterrupted academic sessions in recent history—a “feat attributed to the mutual understanding and shared commitment between the government and the university community.
Dr. Alausa pledged the Ministry’s commitment to collaboratively work with all stakeholders across the education value chain to ensure that every Nigerian child has access to quality education, comparable to global standards.
