Kogi Tasks Tertiary Institutions On Revenue Generation
The Kogi State Government last Thursday urged tertiary institutions in the state to look inward and outward for revenue generation as alternate source of funding.
The Commissioner for Education, Science & Technology, Mrs Rosemary Osikoya, gave the advice at a meeting with the management of College of Health Sciences and Technology Idah, in Idah Local Government Area.
According to Osikoya, the sector needs to critically look inward and outward, do more of team work and partner with stakeholders, to enhance corporate social responsibility support in the institutions.
She, therefore, called for more sensitisation and collaboration with all stakeholders such as the Federal Government, private organisations and individuals to partner with institutions for funding.
She also urged the state’s institutions to rethink, re-strategise, refocus and task themselves on how to unlock and harness their potentials for revenue generation.
She commended the governor for supporting the school which had brought much-needed development and applauded the provost for being proactive in taking the right decision.
“We are very hopeful that as a team we could take on all external stakeholders to give the needed support, which Kogi has been lacking over the years.
“Where there is so much need and gap, then, we would have to think of a way out of the box and that is exactly what we are doing now.
“Governor Yahaya Bello has set up a framework which is the New Direction Blueprint and the target is to make it functional and ensure the delivery of the promise.
“In spite of all constraints and obstacles, we have to create an avenue where stakeholders would have to work together as a team,” she said.
The River State Commissioner for Education, Dr Peters Nwagor has called on media practitioners in Rivers State to deploy their various communication platforms toward promoting government programmes and policies aimed at achieving sustainable development in the education sector. Dr. Nwagor made the appeal when members of the Etche Ethnic Practicing Journalists (EEPJ) paid him a courtesy visit in Office in Port Harcourt. The Commissioner emphasized the strategic role of the media in shaping public perception, promoting government initiatives, and supporting policies capable of improving the quality of education and human capital development in the state. According to him, constructive media engagement remains essential in creating public awareness on educational reforms, students’ welfare, infrastructural improvements, and other interventions being implemented by the state government.
