Federal University, Uga Bill for the third time and passed it into Law.
During Thursday’s Plenary Session, the Senate considered and approved
the Report of the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions &
TETFUND, on the much desired Bill, which was sponsored by Distinguished
Senator Emmanuel Andy Uba, MFR.
The people of Anambra South Senatorial District have immediately
expressed their immense appreciation of the efforts of the Senator in
pressing home their demand for a University and they hope that the
Senator would expedite action, to surmount the remaining bureaucratic
hurdles on the Bill, in order to secure Presidential Assent.
In the same vein, the people are thankful to the Leadership of the 8th Nigerian Senate for yielding to their needs.
The Senate Committee, chaired by Sen. Jubrin Barau, recommended among
other things, that the Bill be passed and the University established.

would help create more access to Tertiary education in the state and in
Nigeria, as a whole.
