Bogoro alleges jonathans government withdrew n359b from tetfund without specific reasons

It appears that there is a controversy surrounding the withdrawal of funds from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) by the Jonathan administration.

According to reports, Senator Mohammed Bogoro, a former Executive Secretary of TETFund, has alleged that the Jonathan government withdrew N359 billion from the fund without providing specific reasons for the withdrawal.

TETFund is a trust fund established by the federal government to provide financial assistance to Nigerian universities and other tertiary institutions. The fund is meant to support the development of these institutions and improve the quality of education in Nigeria.

Senator Bogoro's allegation is that the Jonathan government withdrew a large sum of money from TETFund without providing any justification or explanation for the withdrawal. This has raised concerns about the transparency and accountability of the government's handling of the fund.

It is important to note that the Jonathan administration has not publicly responded to Senator Bogoro's allegations, and it is unclear what specific reasons, if any, were given for the withdrawal of the funds.

This controversy highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in the management of public funds, particularly in the education sector. It is essential that the government provides clear and justifiable reasons for any withdrawals from TETFund or other public funds, and that there is adequate oversight and accountability to ensure that the funds are used for their intended purposes.
