A bill pushing for the creation of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Federal University of Nigerian Languages has scaled first reading in the house of representatives.
This newspaper understands that this bill is sponsored by Benjamin Kalu, the deputy speaker, and eight other lawmakers: Inuwa Garba, Nasiru Shehu, Alex Ikwechegh, Bako Useni, Amobi Ogah, Akin Rotimi, Halims Abdullahi, and Felix Nwaeke.
The university will be located in Aba, Abia state.
The proposed university would provide equal educational opportunities in Nigerian languages, offering diplomas, degrees, and postgraduate programmes designed to develop skills in language and cultural fields.
It will also produce graduates who can effectively use Nigerian languages for national development.
The university will also collaborate with other institutions involved in Nigerian languages and culture, providing basic training and promoting national unity.
The bill revealed that President Bola Tinubu will be the university’s visitor, responsible for conducting evaluations at least once every five years.
The President is also given authority to remove council members, excluding the pro-chancellor and vice-chancellor, based on misconduct or inability to perform duties.
The bill will need to pass a second reading, public hearing, third reading, and Senate concurrence before it is sent to the president for assent.
