According to Mr. Lambert Opara, the special assistant to the Supervising Minister of Eduction, Chief NyesomWike, the Federal Government has released much funds, increased supervision and developed human capital all in an effort to improve standards of 104 unity colleges across Nigeria.

He said that the present administration placed more premium on education as the engine of Nigeria’s economic and technological growth.

He said that the colleges established as centres of unity and excellence had, over the years, degenerated and hardly met minimum requirements.

“The funding and attention that this administration has given to these institutions in the past two years have translated to the various transformation programmes currently going on in them.''

He said more than 300 administrators of unity colleges were recently subjected to a written examination aimed at ensuring that only the best hands would pilot the affairs of the colleges and assured that the result of the examination would soon be released.

On the protracted university lecturers’ strike, Oparah said that the ministry was working hard to ensure that the lecturers and students would go back to classrooms as soon as possible.
