UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION BILL STILL PROGRESSING – SEN BINOS ASSURES NUMAN CONSTITUENTS
Senator Binos Yaroe, who represents the Adamawa South Zone in the National Assembly, has reassured his constituents that the bill to establish the Federal University of Education, Numan, is still progressing.
He addressed concerns amid rumors that President Bola Tinubu had rejected the bill, explaining that the president had merely delayed signing it to allow time for some corrections requested by the presidency.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting in Mayo-Belwa, Senator Yaroe stated that the president had pointed out specific errors that needed to be corrected before he would grant his approval.
The senator, assuring his commitment to seeing the bill through to its logical conclusion, said, “The issues will be promptly addressed, and the bill resubmitted once the Senate reconvenes.”
According to him, a key issue is an error in the assignment of land authority, as the initial draft of the bill mistakenly granted the power to allocate land for the proposed university to the state governor.
“We mistakenly assigned the power to grant land authority to the governor instead of the president, who is the rightful visitor for the institution. We will rectify this error by replacing the governor with the president in the bill,” Binos explained.
He stated that once the necessary corrections are made, the bill will be resubmitted for approval, paving the way for the establishment of the Federal University of Education in Numan.
