TETFund promises to intervene in Jigawa State flood crisis
Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) says it will assist the Jigawa State Government in tackling the flood menace ravaging its University of Science and Technology.
The Executive Secretary of TETFund, Mr Sunday Echono, made the pledge when Gov. Umar Namadi of Jigawa visited him in Abuja.
According to Echono, Jigawa is one of the major frontier states in terms of emerging technology.
“In spite of the challenges, Jigawa is resilient in the area of innovation and technology and I think that was why the Federal Government established the Federal University of Technology in Babura in the state.
“We want to assure you that we will continue to support your effort in the development of education in Babura and Jigawa State in general.

He lauded the agency for all it was doing toward the development of education in the country.
