“The students in private universities are firstly Nigerians and what TETFUND represents is the commonwealth of Nigeria, so it should get to everyone.

 “So, already we feel that we are discriminated against because we don’t have access but the argument is understandable because it was started by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU and now it has become a general thing that everybody is keying into,” he said. 

He explained that the fund would augment the financial demand from private universities to build educational infrastructure and carry out research that helps the national development of the country.
