President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed bills into law to establish two new specialised institutions, namely the Federal University of Agriculture and Development Studies in Osun State and the Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences in Ekiti State. During the assent ceremony in Abuja, the President emphasized that these universities will address critical educational gaps, foster research and innovation, and boost the nation's economic growth and global competitiveness. This development expands Nigeria's higher education sector—which already comprises numerous federal, state, and private universities—following recent approvals by the President for another environmental and technology university in Rivers State and the conversion of a forfeited private institution in Southern Kaduna into a federal facility.
