What you should know 

The establishment of governing councils in federal tertiary institutions in Nigeria was necessitated by the need for improved governance and management within these institutions.  

This initiative aims to address issues such as financial mismanagement, administrative inefficiencies, and the overall quality of education.  

The push for the formation of these councils came from various stakeholders, including educational experts, policy analysts, and the academic community, who recognised the urgent need for a structured and effective management system.  

This move was also in response to the demand from student unions and staff associations who sought better accountability and transparency in the administration of tertiary institutions.
