The House of Representatives Committee on University Education has visited National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN and warned against spending money not appropriated by the National Assembly. Chairman, House Committee on University Education, Hon.
Abubakar Hassan Fulata, who made this known during the visit, said the lawmakers will not shy away from oversight which is one of the major responsibilities of the legislators with the view of ensuring transparency and accountability in the system. Fulata said though university management like some of the government organizations can generate revenue internally and get grants from donor agencies but spending the money without regard to appropriation laws is an infraction.
Fulata also called for proper utilisation of fund in the university for the seek of sustainable growth and development of the country. Responding to questions on why the committee embarks on oversight visit to universities, Fulata said it is not about witch-hunting but routine exercise in line with constitutional provisions. He said a report of their observations will be written and action will be taken on it.
