Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has said that the current slash in the monthly subvention to the Ekiti State University (EKSU) was a temporary measure occasioned by the nationwide financial challenges.
Fayemi, made the clarification in Ado Ekiti yesterday when a delegation of the university’s Governing Council led by its Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Governing Council, Prof. Bamitale Omole, paid a courtesy visit to the governor’s office.
He said the decision would be reviewed as the state’s finances improve.
He said payment of the backlog of subvention will be considered but urged the management to harness other possible ways of generating funds for the university.
