The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, says Nigeria’s tertiary institutions must become engines of research, innovation and skills development. Speaking at the 2026 TETFund North-Central Town Hall in Lokoja, he urged universities, polytechnics and colleges of education to align training with opportunities in agriculture, mining, energy, manufacturing and technology.

Idris said TETFund’s 2026 intervention provides about ₦2.53bn to each public university, ₦1.87bn to each polytechnic and ₦2.06bn to each College of Education. He said the funds should improve laboratories, lecture halls, libraries and research, while stressing that institutions must also produce graduates with skills relevant to employers and industry.

He also highlighted NELFUND, vocational training, digital skills and entrepreneurship as key parts of the Federal Government’s education agenda. Idris urged stronger partnerships between schools and the private sector, greater accountability in TETFund spending, and training that prepares young Nigerians for artificial intelligence, automation and emerging technologies.
