Gov Adeleke seeks TETFund support to strengthen infrastructure
The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has sought for the support of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFund, to strengthen the infrastructural development of tertiary institutions in the State, National Daily Newspaper gathered.
Governor Adeleke spoke during a courtesy visit on the Executive Secretary of TETFund, Sonny Echono in Abuja on Friday.
The Governor, who noted the educational decline of the State, said the visit was necessary to ensure education takes its pride.
While commending the fund on its role in giving tertiary education a face, Governor Adeleke said that hardly would there be any development in tertiary institutions that would not be traceable to TETFund.
Let me first commend TETFund for the great job it is doing across Nigeria.
There is no institution that you will not see TETFund presence, so any right thinking Governor must commend their work so they can do more.
In Osun State, we are enjoying TETFund in the areas of infrastructure.

He said that adequate attention, however, must be placed in tertiary education because innovations, creativity and enterprises were usually at its highest level.
We believe strongly that tertiary education plays a special role in the affairs and even the destiny of any country because that is the level where the greatest level of production, creativity and the greatest impact happen.
Whether it is in terms of new ideas, in terms of new products and services, in terms of better ways of doing things, it is at that level that innovation is at its highest, that creativity and enterprises are at its highest, National Daily Newspaper gathered.
