The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is currently investigating three federal universities established by the former administration over allegations of financial misconducts.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, disclosed this during the inauguration of a seven-man probe panel on the 12 new federal universities established between 2011 and 2013.
Adamu said the EFCC is probing how the universities utilized the take-off grants released to them by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFund.
The universities under probe are federal university, Lokoja; federal university, Oye-Ekiti; federal university, Ndufu-Alike; federal university, Dutse; and federal university, Gusau, among others.
The
minister said the audit was necessitated by the avalanche of complaints and
petitions from stakeholders and clients including the new vice chancellors of
the universities as well as campus based unions and community leaders.
