The Committee of Pro-Chancellors (CPC) of Federal Universities has hailed President Bola Tinubu on his affirmation of what they described as the sanctity of university autonomy.

The pro-chancellors also praised Tinubu for agreeing to increase funding of education, through the new Students Loan Act, which was signed into Law on June 11, to create broad access for more qualified Nigerians to benefit from tertiary education.

The committee pledged to work with the new administration to discuss with the Federal Government to fine-tune the novel initiative.

The Pro- chancellors said these in a communique issued by its Secretary General, Prof. Yakubu Ochefu, at the end of its 99th regular meeting of the committee held in Abuja recently.

The regular meeting of the committee brought together Pro-Chancellors from 50 federal universities.

The committee urged the Federal Government to sustain its vision for the tertiary education sub-sector and ensure that existing laws in the direction are upheld firmly.
