The Nation Newspaper TETFund stops use of vendors for training programmes
has said part of the reforms it carried out was to eliminate the use of vendors and contracts in its academic and professional staff training interventions.
But the TETFund boss took time to explain that the agency has been leveraging on Memoranda of Understanding to carry out its academic and professional staff training since 2016. He said in one of the MoUs reached recently with CAMPUS France, which controls about 29 universities, slashed the cost of tuition for Nigerian scholars by 20 per cent.
Echono said: “We through this process of negotiation also in compliance with our own laws, are the ones that said please we can only give you 85% because there is a requirement for us to show evidence of performance of monitoring before we release the final 15%, which is what we were able to negotiate.
“What is applicable are the fees, the tuition fees that people pay per student; and when you add all the costs for all these schools, you now get N7.6 billion. It sounds alarming, but the reality is that the vote for this for each school, each polytechnic and college of education is N25 million.
