The Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Sonny Echono, has lamented the over-dependence of public universities on government, urging for a new model of sustainable funding that would help them fulfill their mandate.
Echono made the call while delivering a lecture on “University autonomy and the challenge of sustainable education funding in Nigeria,” during the 51st Convocation of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), Enugu State on Saturday.
