The federal government has mandated all vice-chancellors of federal universities, rectors of polytechnic, and provosts of other institutions to publish key institutional data on their official websites with immediate effect.
The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, who gave the directive, stated that the move was to entrench transparency, accountability, and good governance in Nigeria’s tertiary education system in line with global best practices.
According to a statement signed by the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade, each institution must provide its annual budgetary allocation in full detail, including the breakdown of expenditure across three core areas: personnel costs, overhead costs, and capital expenditure.
