The Nigerian Anti-Corruption Defenders (NACD) has commended the Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Sonny Echono for the exemplary performance and technical support in driving educational reforms across tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
In a statement signed by its Coordinator, Leonard Musa expressed the group’s support in his dedication to delivering on TETFund’s mandate, rejecting any attempt to distract him from the noble cause.
According to the statement, “The Executive Secretary has demonstrated outstanding leadership characterized by transparency, accountability, and a zero-tolerance policy towards underperformance and substandard contracts. His commitment to upholding ethical standards and ensuring value for money in TETFund projects is commendable.
“Drawing from his extensive experience as a former Permanent Secretary at the Civil Service Commission, the Executive Secretary has doubled his efforts in transforming TETFund into a beacon of excellence in tertiary education funding. His open-door policy fosters transparency and encourages stakeholder engagement, contributing to the credibility of TETFunds’s operations.
“We are heartened by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s interest and confidence in the Executive Secretary. His unwavering support underscores the significance of the Executive Secretary’s role in driving educational development in Nigeria. We trust that the President’s confidence will continue to be justified as he steers TETfund towards greater heights.
