The Vice-Chancellor of Baze University, Abuja, Prof. Abiodun Gabriel Adeniyi, calls on the Federal Government to provide stronger support for private universities in Nigeria. He argues that private institutions are important to national human-capital development and that they should receive more consistent assistance.
Vanguard reports that Adeniyi specifically urges the government to extend support through TETFund, noting that private universities carry heavy financial burdens despite contributing to national development. The Punch similarly frames the appeal as a call for government backing for private universities, emphasizing their role in workforce and human-capital formation. Across both outlets, the central thrust is that additional funding and institutional support would help private universities sustain operations and broaden their educational impact.
