Bridging the Manpower Deficit: FUT Minna Set to Recruit
Attending to the massive vacuum left by the retiring teachers, the Vice-Chancellor of FUT Minna, Professor Faruk Adamu Kuta, exposed that the organization has taken proactive steps to protect the university’s scholastic future.
He announced that the Federal government gave the university a specific waiver in 2015 to recruit almost 200 new academic workers. Moreover, the organization has actually gotten an authorised establishment act to make further tactical recruitment provisions throughout 2026.
To ensure that the recently introduced specialised courses do not experience an abrupt drop in professional oversight, Vice-Chancellor Kuta confirmed that the university has used agreement extensions to the retired people.
This arrangement allows them to stay on campus as active mentors to the recently hired junior faculty.
Responding on behalf of the retirees, Teacher Helmina Olufunmilayo Akanya kept in mind that changing Nigerian higher education is a shared duty requiring equivalent dedication from speakers, students, households, and the state.
She emphasised that while speakers need to continue to provide their best, the federal government must step up to supply the sophisticated infrastructure needed to make Nigerian universities worldwide competitive.
