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.

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. .
