The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) has reaffirmed its commitment to driving digital transformation across Nigeria’s higher-education sector, according to Masari, who emphasized the Fund’s strategic investments aimed at modernizing university operations, teaching, and research.
Speaking at a recent stakeholder engagement, Masari noted that TETFund has significantly expanded support for ICT infrastructure, including the deployment of campus-wide broadband, digital learning platforms, smart classrooms, and virtual laboratories. He explained that the initiative is part of a broader effort to position Nigerian institutions to compete globally in research, innovation, and digital literacy.
According to him, TETFund is also supporting capacity-building programmes to train lecturers and researchers in emerging technologies, data-driven teaching methods, and digital content creation. This, he said, will bridge gaps in digital competency and enable institutions to adopt modern pedagogical tools.
The Fund is further developing digital repositories and e-library systems to enhance access to academic materials, promote remote learning, and strengthen knowledge sharing among institutions. Masari reiterated that digital transformation is key to improving teaching quality, advancing research outputs, and ensuring Nigerian tertiary institutions keep pace with global educational standards.
He encouraged institutions to fully leverage TETFund’s interventions and collaborate toward building smarter, tech-enabled campuses capable of preparing students for the demands of the modern workforce.
