The Federal Government yesterday inaugurated the Governing Councils of tertiary institutions one year after the councils were dissolved by President Bola Tinubu.

Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, while inaugurating the councils, warned them against undue interference in the human, financial and resource management of the institutions.

He said: “There is a clear line of operation between the Management and respective Governing Councils of the tertiary institutions; Councils are not to interfere with the day-to-day management of human, financial, and material resources of the institutions.”

Prof. Mamman urged the Council members to come up with ideas that will shore up the institution’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) by exploring diverse sources and partnering willing investors.

He added: “You are responsible for setting the strategic direction, overseeing transparent and responsible financial management of the sector, and ensuring the overall performance of these institutions to achieve the national goals and expectation of tertiary institutions.

“Governing Councils should encourage responsible unionism in their respective institutions while arresting the problems of cultism and drug abuse. Effective strategies should be put in place by Councils for early detection and eradication of social vices such as sexual harassment, theft, extortion and inducement.”

The minister, however, advised them to know the existing laws guiding the institutions and always apply same in their dealings.

Minister of State for Education, Dr Tanko Sununu, said it was crucial to emphasise the need to adhere to the laws and regulations that establish and govern tertiary institutions.
