A board member of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi has commended the Federal Government for deploying the TETFund as a vehicle to deliver on President Bola Tinubu’s vision for transforming the country’s tertiary education sector.

Adeyemi stated this while addressing participants at the 5th Strategic Media Stakeholders’ Seminar, organised by the Sobi FM Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Kwara State Council, in partnership with the Nigeria Media Parliament. The event, which was held in Ilorin, focused on the theme, The Role of TETFund in Repositioning Nigeria’s Higher Education.

According to him, “TETFund has been at the forefront of repositioning Nigeria’s higher institutions by investing in infrastructure, research, and human capital development.”

He said the Fund’s strategic efforts are aligned with President Tinubu’s education reform goals, particularly towards building a globally competitive education system that prepares Nigerian students for the future.

Adeyemi also revealed that TETFund is the major financier of the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), a flagship initiative promised by Tinubu to support students with affordable access to education.

“This is not just a project for this administration; it’s designed to be sustainable and impactful for generations,” he noted.

The seminar attracted media professionals, educationists, and stakeholders in the sector, all of whom deliberated on how to deepen media engagement in highlighting TETFund’s role in national development.
