President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed a bill to create the Federal University of Environmental Technology in Ogoni, Rivers State, thereby enhancing Nigeria’s network of federal higher education institutions.
Dada Olusegun, the Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Social Media, announced this development through a tweet on his X account on Monday, January 3.
The establishment of the new university in Ogoni follows President Tinubu’s recent approval of another federal university in Southern Kaduna, underscoring his administration’s dedication to providing equitable educational opportunities across the country.
This initiative reflects Tinubu’s vision for national unity and inclusivity, emphasizing his belief that “there are no minority ethnicities in Nigeria.”
Olusegun’s post reads: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu signs The Federal University of Environment and Technology, Tai (Ogoniland) Establishment bill into law at the State House. He is flanked by Senator Mpigi Barinada (Senator representing Ogoniland in The Senate), the National Security Adviser #NuhuRibadu, Minister of Education and other top Government officials.”
