The Federal Ministry of Education has announced the postponement of the inauguration of Pro-Chancellors, Chairmen, and Members of Governing Councils of Federal Tertiary Institutions.
The inauguration was previously scheduled to hold on Thursday, 30th and Friday, 31st May 2024, as announced when the list of council members was made public a few days ago.
The Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education, Folasade Boriowo, who disclosed this a statement on Sunday, apologized behalf of the Ministry for any inconveniences caused by the postponement.
It was also announced that the inauguration would be followed by a retreat for the members to acquaint them with their expected responsibilities and duties, in order to avoid unnecessary interference or clashes in the day-to-day activities of their respective institutions.
