TETFund Earmarks N25bn To Strengthen Security In Tertiary Schools

TETFund has allocated N25 billion to enhance security in tertiary institutions nationwide, as announced by the Chairman of the TETFund Governing Board, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari. The funds will be used to install street lights and other infrastructure to protect students, staff, and facilities.

Additionally, TETFund has released N100 billion to selected institutions to expand training capacity in medical sciences to address the shortage of healthcare professionals in Nigeria. Masari emphasized that the funding is part of a broader intervention enabled by TETFund's record revenue of N1 trillion in 2025, generated from a 3% education tax on company profits.

The funds will also support the Nigerian Education Loan Fund and the development of solar energy systems in institutions. Masari assured that TETFund has a strong monitoring and evaluation framework to ensure the funds are used for approved projects.
