A former Minister of Education, Prof. Tunde Adeniran, on Friday advised the vice-chancellors of the country’s universities to stop their wives from travelling to Istanbul, Turkey, for a five-day conference in the Middle East nation, IgbereTV reports
In a letter forwarded to the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, the former minister also urged the vice-chancellors to immediately dissolve the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities Spouses.
He stressed that it was unhealthy for the vice-chancellors’ wives to travel to Turkey for an unnecessary and wasteful project during the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The programme, according to the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigeria, will take place in Istanbul from July 18 to 23.
However, Adeniran insisted that the existence of the committee of vice-chancellors’ wives was harmful to Nigeria’s education industry
