The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) team led by its Executive Secretary, Arch. Sonny Echono has visited the headquarters of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NIFLDS), in Abuja.

The working visit aimed at promoting strategic cooperation came on the recent announcement by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, through TETFUND, to focus more on restoration of infrastructure in tertiary institutions at the state and federal levels.

The NILDS is an organ of the National Assembly that supports the sustenance of dynamic and effective Legislature in Nigeria; at Federal, State and Local levels and the ECOWAS sub-region.

The TETFUND team was received by the Director General of NILDS, Prof. Abubakar Sulaiman,  who expressed eagerness on  the possibility  of collaboration between the two agencies.

Through its training programmes, NILDS enhances the capacities of legislators and staff to become more effective in carrying out their mandate; while TETFUND on its own, provides funding for educational facilities and infrastructural development.
