Nigeria Takes a Step Forward in Education with the Establishment of Two New Universities
The Nigerian Senate has passed two significant bills aimed at promoting education and economic growth in the country. The bills seek to establish the Federal University of Applied Sciences in Kachia, Kaduna State, and the Federal University of Technology Ilaro in Ogun State.
The Senate’s Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND presented a report on the establishment of the two universities, which was adopted at plenary on Tuesday. The report highlighted the importance of the institutions in providing scientific knowledge and practical skills to tackle environmental hazards and promote technological advancements.
According to Senator Mohammed Muntari, the Chairman of the Committee, the proposed Federal University of Applied Sciences will produce graduates well-equipped with practical and theoretical knowledge in technology, applied science, commerce, and management. This, he said, will reduce risks and challenges in productivity, data, and information, and promote national integration and social progress.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, expressed his gratitude to the lawmakers for their contributions in ensuring the passage of the bills. He believes that if signed into law by President Bola Tinubu, the institutions will add to the country’s knowledge, increase food production, and help the nation move forward positively.
The establishment of these universities is a significant step forward for Nigeria, as it demonstrates the country’s commitment to investing in education and promoting economic growth. The universities will not only provide a platform for students to acquire knowledge and skills but also contribute to the country’s development and progress.
The bills will now be sent to the Nigerian President for signature, paving the way for the establishment of the two universities.
