Tinubu directs review of governing boards of tertiary institutions

President Bola Tinubu has directed a comprehensive review of
the newly announced governing boards of tertiary institutions.

On May 18, the federal ministry of education announced the
appointments of 500 persons to serve as pro-chancellors and members of the
governing councils of public tertiary institutions across the country.

In a statement on Thursday, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser on
information and strategy, said the president directed a review due to
criticisms that the appointments did not reflect federal character.

“Public reactions showed that the nominations did not
reflect the federal character of the country as some states got just one
nomination, while some others got many,” Onanuga said.

 “In directing a
complete review of the list of members, President Tinubu acknowledges the
feedback across the country.
