Senator Sani Danladi Facilitates TETFUND Interventions To College Of Agric

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress APC Sen. Sani Abubakar Danladi has secured a significant boost for education in the state. Through his role on the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), Senator Danladi facilitated the recognition and approval of the College of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Jalingo, as a Polytechnic.

This landmark achievement grants the institution the eligibility to receive crucial TETFUND interventions.

This important development marks a transformative upgrade for the institution, which has transitioned from a monotechnic to a polytechnic.

As a member of the Board of Trustees of TETFUND, Senator Danladi played a crucial role in securing this recognition, which not only elevates the status of the college but also opens the door to substantial funding and support.

 The approval allows the college to access essential resources for academic and non-academic staff training, infrastructural development, improved laboratories and libraries, and increased research output.

Senator Danladi emphasized the positive implications of this achievement, stating, "This historic approval will significantly enhance the college's capacity to drive innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development in Taraba State." He also took a moment to commend the Executive Governor of Taraba State, Dr. Agbu Kefas, for his visionary leadership and reform policies that have strengthened the educational sector.

The College of Agriculture, Science and Technology plays a pivotal role in addressing agricultural challenges within the state, providing quality education and conducting vital research that contributes to food security and economic growth. With the support of TETFUND, the college is poised to further its mission to promote agriculture and develop local communities.

Many observers believe this milestone is expected to bring about a new era of educational excellence in Taraba, ensuring that students and faculty alike benefit from improved facilities and resources, ultimately fostering a more robust agricultural sector in the region.
