VICE CHANCELLORS CAUTIONED BY BUHARI

President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, cautioned Vice Chancellors of Federal Government owned universities against reckless spending of resources.

He said any university fund that is not spent mainly on the pivotal mandate of the institution in the areas of learning, research and community development falls under money expended in profligacy.

Buhari, represented by Professor Chinedu Mafiana, who is the Deputy Secretary of National Universities Commission (NUC), said at the 32nd Convocation of University of Ilorin, that his administration would not spare any sector of the nation in the fight against corruption.

The President also cautioned union leaders in the nation’s universities against table-banging habits, occasioned by frivolous demands, just as he urged the managements to live up to their billings in discharging their responsibilities.
He urged the graduates to embrace job creation prowess, noting that the government could not provide enough job opportunities for qualified Nigerians.
