President Bola Tinubu has directed a comprehensive review of the recently announced governing boards of tertiary institutions in Nigeria before the inauguration and retreat being planned for the nominees.
The Federal Ministry of Education recently released names of nominees for chairmen, Pro-Chancellors, and members of the boards and councils of universities, Polytechnics, and colleges of education.
It also announced that the inauguration and retreat for the nominees will take place on 31 May.
However, public reactions showed that the nominations did not reflect the federal character of the country as some states got just one nomination, while some others got multiple.
In directing a complete review of the list of members, President Tinubu acknowledges the feedback across the country.
A statement by the special Adviser to the President on information and strategy Bayi Onanuga said the review will also take into consideration national spread and ensure every part of the country is adequately represented.
