JABU VC Request TETFUND Grants From FG To All Private Univisities

The Vice-Chancellor, Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Ikeji-ArakejI, Osun State, Prof Sola Fajana, has plead to the Federal Government to
allow private institutions enjoy Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFund grants.

Prof Fajana, who addressed a team from National Universities Commission (NUC), which visited
JABU for the pre-validation exercise of its proposed Distant Learning Centre, debunked the impression that private universities are
profit-oriented.

He said government must realise that private and public universities are partners in the development of education in Nigeria as it
obtains in developed societies.

Further Fajana believes that thirst of many Nigerians to acquire education at tertiary level can only be assuaged if more universities are
established to complement governments’ efforts.

He said: “Our university is already 10 years old and virtually all infrastructural developments come from proprietors, donors and IGR from school fees.

All efforts by us to enjoy socially-
provided services have not yet been
successful; yet we have remained committed in the discharge of our corporate responsibilities as stakeholder.”

He also said the university has left no stone unturned on its proposed ODL programme,promising quality service delivery.

“We have applied for community radio licence;teleconferencing is available in the ICT Centre
and its being set up for the Distance Learning through synergistic collaborations.”

NUC leader, Prof. Mohammed Abdul-Mumin, noted that the visit was not to victimise the institution but assist in establishing the proposed ODL centre in JABU.
