President Bola Tinubu has authorized the appointments of 555 individuals to serve as pro-chancellors\/chairmen and members of the governing boards for 111 federal universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. This significant move aims to bolster the governance and oversight of these educational institutions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The appointments were based on a list compiled by the Ministry of Education, with Didi Esther Walson-Jack, the ministry\u2019s permanent secretary, confirming the selections. Walson-Jack announced that an inauguration and retreat for the new governing councils will be held on Thursday, May 30, and Friday, May 31, 2024, at the National Universities Commission, located at 26 Aguiyi Ironsi Street, Maitama, Abuja. Both events will start at 9:00 AM daily.<\/p>\n

The detailed list of appointees includes a chairperson and four members for each of the 111 tertiary institutions. This structured approach ensures a comprehensive governance framework aimed at enhancing the quality of education and administrative efficiency across these federal institutions.<\/p>\n

Bayo Onanuga, the President\u2019s special adviser on information and strategy, briefed journalists about the origin of the appointments, noting that the list was meticulously prepared by the Ministry of Education. “These appointments reflect the President’s commitment to improving the governance of our higher education institutions and ensuring they operate at the highest standards,” Onanuga said.<\/p>\n
