To be able to give the required attention to education in tertiary institutions in the country, and to proffer permanent solution to the recurring problems facing the sector, the Government needs to establish the Ministry of Higher Education.

This was part of the resolutions reached by The Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities in Abuja during a conference tagged "Consultative Higher Education Policy Dialogue."

They resolved that the enormous task of piloting the affairs of the educational sector in the country is too big for the Ministry of Education to handle alone; hence splitting it will make the problems easier to tackle.
