The earlier announced inauguration and retreat for pro-chancellors, chairmen, and members of governing councils of federal tertiary institutions scheduled for Thursday, May 30, and Friday, May 31, 2024, has been postponed.

The Federal Ministry of Education announced the postponement in a statement released on Sunday, adding that the move was to ensure a comprehensive review of the list as directed by the Presidency.

The ministry’s Director of Press, Folasade Biriowo signed the statement.

“This is as a result of the presidential directive, as conveyed by the State House press release dated May 23, 2024, for a comprehensive review of the membership of the governing councils of federal tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

“We regret any inconveniences this may cause.

“Further updates will be communicated in due course,” Biriowo said.

It would be recalled that President Bola Tinubu, last week, mandated a comprehensive review of the recently announced governing boards for Nigeria’s tertiary institutions.

The directive for a review followed significant public backlash, including protests from the Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics.
