Former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission Attahiru Jega has been appointed by the federal government (FG) as part of those to review Nigeria’s university system.

The government also appointed former Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC) Prof. Peter Okebukola to get the job done.

Executive Secretary of NUC Prof. Abubakar Rasheed informed newsmen of this development on Monday, after appearing before the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND to defend the 2018 budget proposed by the commission.

Speaking further, the NUC boss dismissed recent rating allegedly made by the commission, saying that the university regulatory body has not rated institutions in the country for “many years.”

“The NUC has constituted a high-powered committee of very credible senior academics,” he said.

“Most of the members of this small committee are former vice chancellors, former executive secretaries of the NUC and some had held positions like pro-chancellor, chairman of INEC and minister of education.

“We have given them a six-term reference to help us with the re-positioning of Nigeria’s university system.”
