President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declined assent to a bill seeking to establish the Federal University of Education, Numan, in Adamawa State.
His decision was conveyed in a letter addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajuddeen, and read during Tuesday’s plenary by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.
Explaining his reasons for rejecting the bill, President Tinubu cited legal inconsistencies, particularly in Section 22, which grants authority over land disposal to the state governor rather than the President, as required for federal institutions.
Additionally, he pointed out an omission in Section 25(b) regarding the institution’s authority to award degrees.
The House of Representatives had passed the bill last year and forwarded it to the President for approval, but with this rejection, its future now remains uncertain.
