The ceremony will be presided over by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, FAmeds, alongside the Honourable Minister of State for Education, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad. The event represents a significant milestone in the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts to foster a stable, productive, and globally competitive higher education sector.
The agreement underscores the Federal Government’s unwavering commitment to constructive engagement with critical stakeholders and the resolution of industrial issues through sustained dialogue, mutual understanding, and cooperation. It is expected to further enhance industrial peace across Nigerian universities, create a more conducive academic environment, and reinforce confidence among students, staff, and the wider public.
