Tinubu Announces University Recruitment Reforms at FUHSA

During the maiden convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Azare (FUHSA) in Bauchi State, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, represented by Architect Sunny ST Echono, the Executive Secretary of Tetfund, announced significant reforms in university recruitment processes. The Federal Government has removed universities from the requirement to obtain recruitment waivers, allowing the Federal Ministry of Education and university Governing Councils to manage staff recruitment directly.

Additionally, universities will exit the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) to develop a payroll system tailored to their unique needs. Tinubu emphasized that these reforms aim to create a university system capable of attracting and retaining talent essential for advancing teaching, research, and national development.

He also highlighted the government's commitment to ensuring safe learning environments through the Safe School Initiative, reinforcing security measures to protect students, teachers, and academic communities.
