His statement that Tinubu “understands the challenges faced by these institutions” is evidence of his determination to modify the IPPIS policy and exempt tertiary institutions.
“President Tinubu’s commitment to guaranteeing the independence and efficient management of higher education institutions throughout the nation is demonstrated by the removal of universities and other tertiary institutions from the IPPIS.
The statement went on, “This action is in line with Nigerian students’ aspirations to have a strong and effective education system that satisfies international standards.”
