Nigeria's Tertiary Education Trust Fund approved N70 billion for mini grid power systems across 18 selected institutions during its 2025 intervention cycle. Board of Trustees member Aboh Uduyok announced the initiative during a stakeholder meeting in Uyo on Friday. The program targets persistent electricity challenges affecting universities and polytechnics throughout the South South region and other areas. Sustainable energy solutions will reduce operational expenses while improving research capabilities and academic environments.

Several South South institutions received disaster recovery intervention funding, including Federal University of Science and Technology in Ikot Abasi and Bayelsa State Polytechnic. Stakeholders requested increased education tax rates beyond the current 3 percent level to address growing educational needs. Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic officials appealed for university partnerships enabling polytechnic staff to pursue advanced degrees through part-time programs.
