The governor urged TETFUND to remain steadfast in its commitment to enhancing the quality of higher education and reaffirmed the state governmentโs dedication to partnering with the Fund to improve education in Cross River State.
TETFUNDโs Executive Secretary, Sonny Echono, highlighted the Fundโs progress in reforming and scaling up its interventions through collaboration with its Board and the Minister of Education.
