The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) has said it is aware of a social media letter allegedly written by Mrs Patricia Yakubu, the Woman Leader of the Adamawa State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The letter, purportedly addressed to the National Security Adviser, contains claims that the APC received N325 million from TETFund between October 2023 and October 2024.
TETFund has expressed awareness of these insinuations and is expected to issue a formal response to clarify its position regarding the allegations. The fund reiterated its commitment to transparency and accountability in fulfilling its mandate of advancing tertiary education in Nigeria.
It says it wishes to state unequivocally that the insinuation is not only preposterous and false but also a great disservice to the Nation that an individual of such political standing, would engage in such frivolity without an iota of evidence.
According to the Director of Public Affairs of TETFund, Mr Abdulmumin Oniyangi, ” To further buttress the futility of the allegations, we wish to state in clear terms that General Murtala Mohammed College (GMMC), Yola where TETFund contracts are alleged to have been sold is not a Beneficiary Institution of TETFund; while FCE Yola which is a Beneficiary Institution is solely responsible for engagement of its contractors in line with the policy of the Fund.“
He said that the Fund has observed that allegations of this nature, sponsored by desperate individuals, have become the trend in recent times but will not be deterred in carrying out its statutory mandate which remains funding for the rehabilitation, restoration and consolidation of tertiary education in Nigeria.
” The Fund has undertaken this mandate steadily over the years both as ETF and TETFund and with renewed vigour under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. We advise that detractors get their facts right to avoid misleading the public;” Mr Oniyangi added.
