Niger State Government has revoked the approvals given to all private tertiary institutions across the state as a result of a contravention of stipulated rules and regulations.

However, in a letter addressed to all proprietors of the private tertiary institutions, and made available to The Nation, the state government stated that the way the institutions contravened stipulated rules and regulations was disturbing.
The letter which was signed by the Commissioner of Tertiary Education, Prof. Baba Aliyu, stated that the institutions had abused the privilege of the provisional approval granted to them.
“The Niger State Government in her desire to enforce the guidelines and maintain the standard for the establishment of Tertiary education in the state has decided to revoke the earlier provisional approval.
“However, each institution is required to reapply individually for their registrations and approval and such institution will be provided with a revised set of prerequisite conditions which they are expected to comply with”, the letter reads.
