President Bola Tinubu has directed a total and comprehensive review of the recently announced governing boards of tertiary institutions before the inauguration and retreat being planned for the nominees.
The Federal Ministry of Education recently released names of nominees for Chairmen, Pro-Chancellors, and members of the Boards and Councils of Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education. It also announced that the inauguration and retreat for the nominees will take place on 31 May.
However, public reactions sindicated that the nominations did not reflect the federal character of the country, as some states got just one nomination, while others got many.
In a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Tinubu acknowledged the feedback across the country and directed a complete review of the list of members.
The review, according to the statement, will also take into consideration national spread and ensure every part of the country is adequately represented.
