Over 9,000 Tertiary Institution Staff Benefit from Federal Support Programme

The Federal Government has commenced the disbursement of funds under the Tertiary Institution Staff Support Fund designed to strengthen staff welfare, institutional productivity, and innovation across Nigeria’s tertiary education system.

This was contained in a statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Education, Folasade Boriowo.

Boriowo, while quoting the Minister of Education, Doctor Tunji Alausa, said the programme had transitioned from planning to full implementation, with more than nine thousand staff of tertiary institutions receiving payments in the first year.

This, he said represented twenty-eight percent of the thirty-three thousand verified applicants drawn from two hundred and nineteen Federal and State tertiary institutions across the federation.
