Even as the country continues to face mixed fortunes ocassioned by her dependent on oil as only foreign exchange earner, public expenditures have continued to increase, no thanks to the nation’s National Assembly.
Even then political will to implement the Orosanya’s recommendations of merging some redundant and related government agencies to cut down public expenditure is still lacking.
Even then the Senate on Wednesday passed a bill seeking to establish the Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Also passed was a bill to establish the Federal College of Education, Gwoza in Borno State.
According to a release by
Ezrel Tabiowo special Assistant to senate president on press matters
the passage of both bills followed the consideration of two separate reports by the Committee on Health (Secondary and Tertiary); and Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND.
Senator Umar Sadiq, who presented the report by the Committee on Health (Secondary and Tertiary) on behalf of its Chairman, Yahaya Oloriegbe, said the establishment of the Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences was informed by the imperative to create more access to higher education in the field of medicine and medical sciences.
He added that when established, the university would attract people to Abeokuta, Ogun State through the provision of higher educational academic and professional programs to those seeking to pursue degrees in the field of medicine and allied professional disciplines.
In a related development, Senator Sandy Onuh, who presented the report by the Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND Committee on behalf of the Chairman, Babba Kaita Ahmad, said the establishment of the Federal College of Education, Gwoza, would support the North East zone in improving educational infrastructural needs while balancing access to education among diverse demographics in the country.
