Nigerian Lecturers, ASUU Rejects Plan By Tinubu Government To Collect 40% Revenue From Universities

According to the federal government, federal universities and other partially-funded institutions' IGRs will automatically be deducted by 40%.

The union said that public universities are not businesses that make money.

"NEC reviewed the implications of the recent directive to Federal Universities to remit forty percent (40%) of their Internally Generated Funds (IGF) to the coffers of government," the union said.

"NEC condemns the directive in its entirety because it would further impoverish and emasculate the Nigeria university system.

"For the avoidance of doubt, universities are not revenue generating agencies because the obligatory fees paid by students are to provide the necessary tools for them to be properly educated."
