Dr. Alausa charged the appointees to provide visionary and accountable leadership to reposition Nigeria’s universities and colleges for global competitiveness.

He noted that governing councils are the highest policy-making bodies in tertiary institutions, responsible for institutional governance, policy direction, financial oversight, and academic excellence.

“Your appointments are both a recognition of your individual contributions to national development and a call to serve with integrity, vision, and accountability,” he stated.

The Minister acknowledged the numerous challenges facing the tertiary education sector, including funding gaps, infrastructural deficits, labour unrest, and declining global rankings.

He urged the appointees to offer strategic oversight while respecting university autonomy, adding, “Your role is not to run the institutions daily, but to provide direction in accordance with relevant laws and policies.”

 

Dr. Alausa emphasised that autonomy must be matched with transparency in procurement, budgeting, appointments, and contract management. He reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to revitalising the education sector under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

 

Executive Secretary of the NUC, Professor Abdullahi Yusufu Ribadu, in his goodwill message, congratulated the new appointees, describing their appointments as merit-based. He advised them to work as a team to overcome challenges facing their institutions.

 

Responding on behalf of the appointees, Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura thanked President Tinubu for the opportunity to serve and pledged collective commitment to transforming the education sector.
