The federal executive council
(FEC) has approved the establishment of four new private universities in
Kaduna, Oyo, Ogun and Osun states.
Adamu Adamu, minister of
education, made this known to state house correspondents at the end of the first
meeting of the council in 2019.
The meeting was presided over by
President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to the minister, the
new universities are Greenfield University Kaduna, Dominion University, Ibadan,
Trinity University, Laloko in Ogun and Westland University in Iwo, Osun.
“All the four have satisfied the
criteria for the establishment of universities,” he said.
“They have submitted their
academic briefs, their master plans and evidence of facilities after visitation
by the National Universities Commission (NUC); they have satisfied all those
requirements and they are being granted licences.”
Babatunde Fashola, minister of
power, works and housing, said the council approved a National Public Building
Maintenance Policy and Framework.
He said the new policy will
institutionalise a maintenance culture in the country. The minister said some
of the benefits of the policy would provide an inventory of government assets
and job opportunities for Nigerians.
Ibe Kachikwu, minister of state
for petroleum, said the council approved N3.7 billion for the replacement of
damaged petroleum pipelines for the ministry of petroleum resources.
