The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) team led by Sonny Echono, the executive secretary, has visited the headquarters of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NIFLDS) in Abuja.
The working visit aimed at promoting strategic cooperation came on the recent announcement by President Bola Tinubu, through TETFUND, to focus more on restoration of infrastructure in tertiary institutions at the state and federal levels.
The NILDS is an organ of the national assembly that supports the sustenance of dynamic and effective legislature in federal, state and local levels and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) sub-region.
The TETFUND team was received by Abubakar Sulaiman, the director general of NILDS, who expressed eagerness on the possibility of collaboration between the two agencies.
Through its training programmes, NILDS enhances the capacities of legislators and staff to become more effective in carrying out their mandate; while TETFUND on its own, provides funding for educational facilities and infrastructural development.
