TETFund bars institutions with abandoned projects from new interventions

The Board of Trustees of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) in Nigeria has announced that tertiary institutions with delayed or abandoned TETFund-funded projects will be barred from accessing new intervention projects under the 2027 allocation cycle unless they complete their outstanding work. This decision follows persistent delays in project execution despite prior efforts to address the issue. Chairman Aminu Masari stated that while external factors like fluctuating construction material prices initially caused delays, a 2023 intervention program successfully helped complete many affected projects. However, recent delays are now attributed to institutional leadership issues and administrative bottlenecks rather than funding shortages. Masari emphasized that future projects will not be hindered by internal bureaucracy or political interference within beneficiary institutions.
