The Senate has initiated an inquiry into reported cases of undisclosed admissions affecting around 290 qualified students at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN.
Senator Nwebonyi Onyeka highlighted a case involving Chinyere Ekwe, whose admission to study Medicine and Surgery was allegedly revoked on JAMB’s directive.
Following a thorough debate, the Senate has referred the motion to the Committees on Tertiary Institutions, TETFUND, Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions for further investigation.
In another development, the Federal Government plans to add 700 megawatts to the National Grid, aiming to strengthen base-load generation and accommodate renewable energy.
Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, revealed this during a media parley in Abuja yesterday, expressing concerns about the privatization of distribution and generating companies.
He also pledged to investigate the renewal of their licenses by the previous administration.
