Centres of Excellence established by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, in various higher institutions such as the University of Lagos, UNILAG, the University of Jos, UNIJOS, among others are currently abandoned at various stages of completion.
Commenting on the development in a recent chat with newsmen in Lagos, the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, said the abandoned project would require over a trillion naira to complete.
“The Centres of Excellence were set up by the Central Bank of Nigeria in many institutions across the country. Federal and state institutions are beneficiaries but they have been abandoned in many instances. At the University of Lagos, the two projects have been left uncompleted. When we met the contractors handling those projects, they said it would require N19 billion to complete them. See More/Details
