THE Pro-chancellor of Oduduwa University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Chief Raman Adedoyin, has appealed to the Federal Government to include private universities among the beneficiaries of Tertiary Institutions Trust Fund, TETFUND, to bring down the relatively high tuition fees paid by the students.

Chief Adedoyin made the appeal, yesterday, at the permanent site of the university in Ipetumodu in Ife North local government area of the state while addressing a press conference as part of activities lined up for the second convocation ceremony of the institution.

Adedoyin said the fear of mismanagement of the fund if made available to private institutions, should not have arisen, had agencies of all tiers of government seen private education operators as partners.
