The Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Arc Sonny Echono, has reiterated his dedication to transparency and accountability in the administration of the agency. He emphasized the delivery of more impactful projects across tertiary institutions benefiting from the fund. Echono made the commitment during an event where he was honored as the 2025 Personality of the Year and Tertiary Education Transformation Champion by an organisation whose name was not disclosed in the report. Since his appointment, Echono has overseen the implementation of numerous infrastructure and academic development projects in federal universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. He described accountability as central to TETFund's mandate and stressed that public funds must be applied strictly for intended purposes. The fund derives its financing from the 2% education tax on companies registered in Nigeria. Echono also highlighted ongoing reforms aimed at improving project monitoring and evaluation to ensure value for money.
