The Vice Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria(NOUN), Professor Vincent Ado Tenebe, has complained of lack of funds from the federal government and other stakeholders to enable the institution fulfilled it’s mandate of advancing the cause of tertiary education in Nigeria.
Professor Tenebe said there is the need for deliberate funding from the federal government to ensure the establishment of the university across the nooks and crannies of the country in order to bring tertiary education to the door steps of all nigerians at affordable cost.
The VC who said this during the inauguration of the centre, NOUN Offa Community Study Centre in Offa, said that it is the seventh of such centre, facilitated through communal efforts in Nigeria.
Professor Tenebe particularly commended the sole efforts of Olofa of Offa, Oba Mustapha Gbadamosi for making the study centre a reality for the people of Offa and the environs to benefit from and urged other traditional rulers across the country to emulate such gestures.
He invited all capable communities to partner with NOUN in its quest to bring tertiary education to the grassroots.
