President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of Dr. Hassan Abdulrahman Ocholi as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, representing the North Central geopolitical zone.
The appointment is expected to strengthen the board’s oversight of tertiary education funding and support the Federal Government’s efforts to improve higher education across the country.
