The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned that the federal government’s proposal to phase out the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) by 2030 will destroy public tertiary institutions and education in the country.

The statement was made by ASUU National President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, in response to provisions within the Nigeria Tax Reform Bill 2024, currently before the National Assembly.

The union argues that such a move would not only negate the efforts invested in establishing TETFund but would also make tertiary education unaffordable for the poor. 

Osodeke appealed to the federal government to reconsider its plan, warning that its implementation would effectively destroy public tertiary education in the country.
