The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has placed a six-year moratorium on the establishment of new tertiary institutions, including universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
Education Minister Dr. Tunji Alausa announced the decision, stating it aims to improve the quality and sustainability of existing institutions, particularly private universities.
Citing JAMB data showing over 2.3 million applicants for fewer than 228,000 public university spaces, Alausa argued the moratorium would allow government to focus on strengthening existing institutions rather than expanding.
The Council also restored the National Commission for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-Formal Education as an independent body to address Nigeria’s 56 million illiterate citizens. Get The Full, Details. .
