40% varsities IGR : Onoh lauds Obi over comment on Tinubu

---

---

President Bola Tinubu’s former spokesman in the southeast Dr. Josef Onoh has commended the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi for keeping politics aside to place the greater interest of Nigerians through his , constructive criticism and advise on the President’s reversal of the automatic withdrawal of 40 percent from the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of Federal universities.

Tinubu on Friday, during the 75th Founders day celebration of the University of Ibadan, announced the reversal of the automatic deduction of 40 percent from the federal universities IGR which he said was ill-timed at a time that the universities are financially choked.

Obi immediately reacted to President Tinubu’s reversal of the policy, commending the presidential order and saying the 40 percent IGR underlines a lack of attention to the abuse of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TetFund).

Extolling Obi’s critique, Onoh said that unlike the other opposition that criticize and antagonize the federal government even when it does something positive, Obi’s action has demonstrated true sportsmanship, exposing his value for Nigeria beyond mere politics and commend the LP presidential candidate for the immense applause he gave to the Tinubu istration.

Onoh assured Obi that the Tinubu-led istration will not take for granted his recommendations and, noting that Obi’s commendation will encourage other well- meaning Nigerians to come together to perceive government as a collective pursuit other than as an individual entity.

He stated that what His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi has done was a testament to the ion he has for Nigeria in moving it forward for the collective benefit of all Nigerians, adding that the state of education in Nigeria has been a major concern of all for decades.

Onoh said: “Nigeria as a third world country despite being the most populous country in Africa and having the largest economy has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world, with only 59 percent of the adult population able to read and write. President Tinubu during the campaign made education as one of the priorities in his manifesto.

“He was aware of many challenges facing higher education in Nigeria, from inadequate funding, corruption, inadequate infrastructural facilities, shortage of academic staff, strike actions, Brain-drain, poor research, weak s and insecurity.

“The President’s directive is an affirmation of his commitment to Nigerians towards building a better society and His Excellency Peter Obi’s commendation of Mr. President’s directive isn’t just taken as a political statement, rather it’s a strong motivational words of encouragement and commitment to Nigerians and I assure him that his to the greater good of Nigerians isn’t taken for granted by the Tinubu led istration.

“I urge more Nigerians to emulate his actions and realise that irrespective of our political differences, Nigeria belongs to us all and together we will definitely renew hope and lay a better foundation for the future. This istration will work towards achieving greater access to university education in Nigeria, and will also focus on curbing financial waste in the Nigerian University System (applying the policy of consolidation to its letter).

“Downsizing the number of staff in Nigerian University System; retraining of Nigerian universities’ academic staff to embrace ICT/ e – learning; and encouraging all universities in Nigeria to establish distance learning centres to provide more opportunities for all to have access to university education; and revision of education trust fund for the production of books and journals in the Nigerian tertiary institutions; production of online materials for distance learning centers that would serve the greater populace desiring university education in our country.

“Once again I applaud Peter Obi for his positive commitment and recommendations towards advancement of education in Nigeria and let him be assured that with his and that of all well-meaning Nigerians irrespective of political differences and benefits, we all our government towards building a better nation. Be assured that it will inspire this istration to aspire to the benefit of us all.”

My fellow patriots, leodeking and yarimo
why is this useless man that calls himself Onoh applauding the agulu packaged fraud?

Phresident Pa Tinybu shouldn't have listened to that agulu packaged fraud, instead, he should have increased the automatic withdrawal of varsities' igr to more than 55%, in order to teach him a bitter lesson.

the children of that useless agulu packaged fraud Gregory Peter Oseloka Obi and Gabriella Nwamaka s Obi
must drop out from school, inshallah.
He must learn a very bitter lesson by fire, by force



P.S please those quoting me should try and understand that this is just a sarcasm. I'm only trying to massage the ego of the two APC f0ols I quoted above. The two APCheat fo0ls know that I was trying to massage their ugly-looking stinking ego, reason why they didn't bother to respond.

Tareq1105:


It was not Obi that advised Tinubu to reverse it. Tinubu reversed the decision of ant General and Obi LP, setting politics apart, now commend Tinubu for the reversal.

It's a good thing and I think Obi deserve commendation. Everything is not about bring him down.

If you bring everything down and you now become president tomorrow, would you ever find it easy?

Emmylay12:

Onoh? An igbo man? Nothing really to say. He isn't saying anything new as an igbo man

This is what Democracy is all about. Well done PO and also kudos to President Tinubu for being a listening man unlike the other man that doesn't care.

Onoh? And igbo man? Nothing really to say. He isn't saying anything new for an igbo man

Thinking from your anus as expected like others alike

Preventing Peter Obi from the presidency is like prevention of a skilled surgeon from an operating theatre when there is a complicated problem on a patient everyone wants to save.

Nigeria needs Peter Obi.

Only irredeemable fools see Peter Obi as a bad product.



Peter Obi remains the best candidate to lead Nigeria out from the current darkness we are into, and into a future filled with massive development and national prosperity

Even Tinubu loves Obi for being plain and simple, he says it as it is.
Despite not being in power he has encouraged Tinubu more than APC ers to do the right thing without sentiments with constructive criticism.
I just love Obi's ion for the country
