Date: 2024-10-23

According to Premium Times, Nigerian federal universities have received waivers to recruit new staff to address the growing shortage of personnel, President Bola Tinubu revealed on Tuesday. The announcement was made during the 39th Convocation Ceremony of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State.

The president emphasised that the waivers were granted recently and expressed the federal government's commitment to maintaining an uninterrupted academic calendar.

He also encouraged peaceful dialogue between the government and academic staff to resolve ongoing issues affecting the sector.

Represented at the event by the Minister of State for Education, Yusuf Sununu, the president said the federal government is dedicated to improving the educational sector and empowering the youth.

Mr Tinubu outlined the government's initiatives to support students, particularly through the Nigerian Education Loans Fund (NELFUND).

“The Nigerian Education Loans Fund (NELFUND) has come to stay to provide opportunities and access for students to learn with ease and pay back later,” he stated, urging students to take full advantage of the scheme.

He encouraged the youth to embrace leadership roles, highlighting their intelligence, courage, and integrity as tools to navigate Nigeria's pressing issues.

He congratulated the graduates on their academic achievements and urged them to contribute positively to Nigeria's development.

“Contribute your quota”

“As you step into the real world, the onus is on you to contribute your quota to the greatness of this country. Remember that your existence will only be meaningful if you make positive impacts,” the president said.

He acknowledged the economic and security challenges facing the country but expressed optimism about Nigeria's resilience.

In his address, the Pro-Chancellor of the University, Abiodun Aluko, lauded the institution for maintaining its status as the most sought-after university in Nigeria.
