Lead The Fight Against Corruption – Tinubu Tells Varsities
President Bola Tinubu has admonished Nigerian institutions to take the lead in the fight against corruption.
The President made the call at the second combined 3rd and 4th convocation ceremony of the Federal University Gusau, FUGUS, held in Gusau on Saturday.
Represented by the Vice-Chancellor of the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Prof. Lawal Bilbis, Tinubu said universities as centres of learning and shaping the critical thinking of people, especially youth, need to be vanguards in fighting corruption and other social vices among the teeming generation.
“This administration had increased budgetary allocation to education, defence, humanitarian and health sectors because of the importance it attaches to them.” He said.
He also gave assurance of government’s commitment in bringing the perpetrators of students’ abduction and all other criminals to book.
Tinubu added “We will not relent in efforts to find a lasting solution to insecurity in the country,”.
While commiserating with the universities, families and university communities of the abducted students, he promised more infrastructure in the public universities to foster a conducive learning environment.
