The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, has revealed that the federal government will prioritise the rehabilitation and improvement of existing infrastructure in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions rather than constructing new buildings in the 2025 budget.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Alausa emphasised the government’s commitment to addressing the decay in existing facilities.
“One priority area we are going to do is fix these infrastructures, rehabilitate, improve and get them to a very high standard. Enough of building new structures,” the minister stated.
He explained that the 2025 budgetary allocation to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) would be channeled towards upgrading current facilities.
According to him, the funds will be used to repair and rehabilitate hostels, lecture theaters, auditoriums, laboratories, classrooms, and offices in higher institutions.
“In the 2025 budgetary allocation to TETFUND, higher institutions will use their fund to improve existing infrastructures, repair and rehabilitate hostels, lecture theaters, auditorium, laboratories, classes as well as offices. That’s what the intervention funds will be spent on,” he added.
