Tetfund jerry gana solicits private varsities #

It appears that you're referring to a news article or statement made by Jerry Gana, a Nigerian politician and former Minister of Information, regarding TETFund (Tertiary Education Trust Fund) and private universities in Nigeria.

For the benefit of those who may not be familiar, TETFund is a federal government agency established in 2001 to provide funding for public universities in Nigeria. The fund is sourced from a 2% education tax on all companies operating in Nigeria.

According to reports, Jerry Gana has called on private universities in Nigeria to contribute to TETFund, just like their public counterparts. This is seen as a move to ensure that private universities also contribute to the development of the country's education sector.

Gana's proposal has sparked mixed reactions, with some arguing that private universities should not be forced to contribute to TETFund, as they are already investing heavily in their institutions. Others have argued that private universities should contribute to TETFund to promote equity and ensure that all universities in Nigeria have access to similar resources and funding.

What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you think private universities should contribute to TETFund, or should they be exempt from doing so?
