“In all, the university has received about seven billion Naira (N7,000,000,000.00) in intervention from TETFund between 1999 and now.

Speaking further, the pro-chancellor called for a waiver to access the 2021/2022 TETFund’s allocations to enable the university address its challenges as well as special intervention on the institution’s library that was recently touched by heavy storm.

“We have a very small campus, and we desire to expand in terms of content-base and infrastructure. Our university has commenced appreciable steps with NUC to commence the following programmes: Architecture, Pharmacy, Engineering, and Building Engineering.

“Therefore, and further to the level of completion of the above listed projects, we hereby appeal to you to grant us a waiver to allow the university to access the 2021 and 2022 annual allocations to enable us to proceed with the projects tied to those allocations.
