We expect the staff of these institutions to show a better appreciation of the current state of affairs in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the determined effort to resolve the issue, we have provided a total of 470.0 billion in the 2023 budget from our constrained resources, for revitalization and salary enhancements in the tertiary institutions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The President said events have shown that it is becoming very difficult for the government alone to fund education in the country saying \u201cit is instructive to note that today Government alone cannot provide the resources required for funding tertiary education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn most countries, the cost of education is jointly shared between the government and the people, especially at the tertiary level. It is imperative therefore that we introduce a more sustainable model of funding tertiary education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Government remains committed to the implementation of agreements reached with staff unions within available resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why we have remained resolute that we will not sign any agreement that we would be unable to implement. Individual institutions would be encouraged to keep faith with any agreement reached in due course to ensure stability in the educational sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment is equally committed to improving the quality of education at other levels. Recently, we implemented various incentives aimed at motivating and enhancing teachers\u2019 development in our schools\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that the government remained committed to the effective implementation of the safe schools policy and has made available the sum of N15.2 billion in the 2023 Budget to scale up current measures to provide a safer and more conducive learning environment in schools.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the protracted strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, President Muhammadu Buhari has said the government would no longer sign any agreement it cannot implement.
