Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has claimed that the Federal Government cannot completely stop funding institutions.
Osodeke revealed on Thursday’s episode of Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily that the Federal Government is mandated by the Constitution to provide funding for public universities.
He was responding to a story in which Professor Tahir Mamman, the Minister of Education, was reported as saying that the Federal Government would launch new methods of funding tertiary education by giving universities the liberty to find new sources of revenue for their operations.
