Senate Committee on tertiary institutions and TETFUND on Monday commenced a two-day public hearing on bills to establish universities in Nigeria.
The Committee will also interact with stakeholders on the proposed bill to get rid of discrimination against B.Sc and HND certificates as well.
Chairman of the Committee, Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita in his opening address, said, Senate was committed to establishment of Universities in Nigeria for the purpose of even and equitable opportunities.
