The Federal Government has announced plans to construct student hostels in 36 tertiary institutions across Nigeria, with a commitment to build more once the initial set is completed.
Sonny Echono, the Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund TETFund, made this known during a meeting with the new leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, led by its President, Lucky Emonefe. According to a statement on Wednesday by TETFund’s Director of Public Affairs, AbdulMumin Oniyangi, Echono pointed out that there is increased allocation for the maintenance of TETFund infrastructures above five years in the 2024 intervention cycle.
“They will be solid buildings that can attract other students from anywhere in the world to compare with what other people enjoy when they leave Nigeria.” Echono stated. He urged students to leverage TETFund's digital services platform, the Tertiary Education Research, Applications, and Services, to access educational resources and research materials.
