The Federal Ministry of Education has postponed the inauguration and retreat for pro-chancellors, chairmen and members of Governing councils of federal tertiary institutions earlier scheduled for Thursday, May 30 and Friday, May 31, 2024.<\/p>\n
This was contained in a statement released late on Sunday by the Ministry Education\u2019s Director of Press, Folasade Biriowo, explaining that the postponement was to ensure a comprehensive review of the list as directed by President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is as a result of the presidential directive, as conveyed by the State House press release dated May 23, 2024, for a comprehensive review of the membership of the governing councils of federal tertiary institutions in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe regret any inconveniences this may cause. Further updates will be communicated in due course,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
It would be recalled that President Tinubu had last week mandated a comprehensive review of the recently announced governing boards for tertiary institutions owned by the Federal Government to reflect federal character.<\/p>\n
This directive precedes the planned inauguration and retreat for the nominees.<\/p>\n
Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Mr Bayo Onanuga had in a statement titled, \u2018President Tinubu Directs Comprehensive Review of Governing Boards of Tertiary Institutions,\u2019 highlighted discrepancies such as some states receiving only one nomination while others had multiple appointees.<\/p>\n
