       The Federal Government on Friday inaugurated the University
       Needs Implementation Committee headed by Governor Gabriel Suswam
       of Benue State.
       The committee is to put in place appropriate requirements for
       learning in all tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
       The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius
       Anyim, said during the inauguration of the committee in Abuja
       that the major needs of all federal universities were identified
       by an assessment committee earlier set up to “assess and
       prioritise the needs of universities.”
       According to him, the report submitted by the Needs Assessment
       Committee mandatesthe inaugurated committee “to interface with
       all agencies providing funding support to the universities with
       the aim of appropriately channelling support to identified
       priorities,”
       The Federal Government had set up the NAC to revitalise the
       physical infrastructure in the universities, with the aim of
       enhancing the Internally Generated Revenue base of the
       universities.
       But the non-implementation of the report has pitted the Academic
       Staff Union of Universities, Non-Academic Staff Union and other
       trade unions in the nation’s universities against the
       government.
       Anyim said the committee’s termsof reference included,
       “Simulatingprivate sector investment into thepublic
       universities, monitoring progress of the projects implementation
       and produce quarterly reports for submission to the Federal
       Government and, intervention in any other matter that may be
       necessary to achieve the purpose of the Needs assessment.”
