NGSG REVOKES OPERATING LICENCES OF PRIVATE TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN THE STATE
The Niger State Government has withdrawn/revoked approval granted to operators of all Private Tertiary Education Institutions in the state.
In a statement by Isma’ila Saba Favu, Public Relations Officer, Ministry of Tertiary Education, Science and Technology states that earlier a letter addressed to the proprietors of all Private Tertiary Education Institutions in the state carried the message of the revocation.
The statement further said the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr Musa Abubakar Sadeeq said "the state government is disturbed about the spate of contravention of stipulated rules and regulations governing the establishment and operations of Private Tertiary Education Institutions across the state".
The state government, through the Ministry of Tertiary Education, Science and Technology had earlier "shown its magnanimity in granting provisional approval to many of such established Institutions pending the fulfillment of all requirements. But unfortunately; instead of honouring their obligations, they chose to abuse the granted priviledge".
"In the light of the above however, the Niger State Government wishes to preserve the standard that has been set for the Tertiary level of education in the state" the statement added.
Consequent upon that, all Tertiary Education Institutions in the state are however, required to reapply for their establishment/operation of a Tertiary Institution; to which a revised set of prerequisite condition would be attached.
The statement concluded by cautioning all operators of private Tertiary Institutions in the state to remain law abiding.
