Bogoro’s Revolutionary Initiatives In South- East

‘If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you wish to achieve, and then copy what he does and you will surely achieve the same results’ – Tony Robbins (American author and motivational speaker)

The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) mission is to provide focused and transformative intervention in public tertiary institutions of learning in Nigeria through funding and effective project implementation. This has been the main objective of the management team led by the Executive Secretary, Professor Suleiman Elias Bogoro, which is to equip and provide world-standard and world-class amenities and infrastructure in public tertiary education institutions across the length and breadth of Nigeria thereby making Nigerian students compete favorably with their counterparts globally.

In carrying out this noble assignment, TETFund is reaching out to all the (6) Geo-political zones in the country and southeast Nigeria is not an exception. Professor Bogoro believes strongly in the words of John F. Kennedy (the 35th President of the United States) of America who said ‘The goal of true education is the advancement of knowledge and dissemination of the truth’ and Malcolm X (human rights activist) also opines ‘Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow, belongs to those who prepare for it today’.

In the words of Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist (1835-1919), “Teamwork is the ability to work together towards a common vision and the ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.”
Carnegie’s valuable quotes are the driving force behind Professor Suleiman Elias Bogoro and his team at TETFund and with this type of healthy relationship, it is believed that the fund will surely deliver on its mandate to make Nigeria higher institutions global brands in the comity of nations. TETFund’s transformative and revolutionary initiatives in South East higher institutions of learning have brought to bear the doggedness of the team to deliver on the Change Agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.

Bogoro has also proven that as a traditional title holder “the Ekwueme of Aboh Mbaise” meaning a man whose word is his bond, he is walking his talk as far as infrastructure, content, and research development are concerned in his quest of taking Nigeria tertiary institutions of learning to the Mountain top.
