Some participants at the end of the first phase of a four-day capacity building workshop, organised by Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), have commended the Fund’s commitment to effective service delivery.
The participants who were drawn from all public universities, polytechnics and colleges of education from the North Central, North East and North West, said TETFund’s commitment
to achieving its mandate was highly commendable.
One of the participants, Dr Onu David, Director Quality Assurance, Federal College of Education, Zaria, Kaduna State, said that the Fund had performed excellently, particularly in its intervention in tertiary institutions.
David, who commended the Fund for organising the workshop to further enlighten stakeholders on their roles, described it as very educative with stimulating discussions.
Mr Enyinnaya Akueshi, Head of Projects, Directorate of Physical Development, Works and Services, Open University, commended the Fund for intervening in various areas in the university.
He, however, advised the Fund to consider training for non-academic members of staff because there are also some needs that are non-academic.
The Executive Secretary of TETFund, Prof. Suleiman Bogoro, had in his opening address at the workshop, tasked benefiting institutions on adhering strictly to the guidelines to be able to access funds for projects.
Bagoro, who was represented by Mr Unchendu Wogu, a Director in the Office of the Executive Secretary, TETFund, said the theme of the workshop, “Building Skills Effective Service Delivery” was apt.
