Governor of Zamfara state, Dauda Lawal has appealed to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) for an increased intervention fund to the state to boost infrastructural development in some state-owned tertiary institutions.

He made the appeal yesterday in Abuja when he visited the executive secretary of TETFund, Sonny Echono. Lawal said that due to Zamfara’s poor financial standing, the state of emergency he declared in the education sector recently requires extensive funding support to succeed.

The governor also sought the support of TETFund to complete some of the abandoned projects, especially at the state university, in order to expand access to university education in the state.

He underscored the urgency of addressing the pressing challenges within the state’s educational system, highlighting TETFund’s importance. He said “I came to thank TETFUND but also to ask for more intervention, considering the financial situation of the states.
