- Gets 30 seater bus from TETFund
From Fred Ezeh, Abuja
Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), has engaged the officials and members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) to monitor its sponsored projects, physical and otherwise, in their various institutions.
Executive Secretary of TETFund, Sonny Echono, affirmed the engagement on Monday, in Abuja, when he handed over a brand new 30-seater bus donated to students to aid their operations.
He said the engagement will enable TETFund to strengthen its monitoring system to ensure that more quality services are delivered to the people for the benefit of the students and the institutions.
“We want you to be our eye in various institutions, helping us to report erring contractors to ensure transparency in the system.
“We want to be able to identify on each campus a contact person that will be able to checkmate our projects so that we can have first-hand information, even before sending our team there.
“We are doing several engagements with other stakeholders. So, going forward, this will make our monitoring process more transparent. we would work out modalities for this engagement soon.”
He appealed to the students to take good care of the bus so it can serve them for a very long time.
Responding, NANS President Usman Barambu assured the board that it will put thorough checks across campuses to ensure that contractors who handle TETFund projects carry out such projects.
The student body commended the board for donating a 30-seater coaster bus to them, following their request.
“We are here to thank you and encourage the entire management to do more and more for Nigerian students,” Barambu stated.
