Vice President Kashim Shettima has reaffirmed the government’s determination to revamp the nation’s struggling educational system by creating an inclusive and modern learning environment for students.

Shettima also highlighted the commitment to aligning the educational sector with global standards through the allocation of resources, expertise, and political support.

Speaking on Friday, at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) 2023 National Alumni Association reunion dinner and award night in Abuja, the Vice President emphasised the government’s goal saying tertiary education will occupy a prominent place and priority.

Recall that in a move signalling greater autonomy for institutions, the federal government also announced the exclusion of public universities from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPS) just a few days ago.
