TETFund executive secretary, Bichi Baffa, sacked

Abdullahi-Baffa

President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked the executive secretary, Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Dr Bichi Baffa.

Reports say he has been replaced by a former executive secretary, Prof. Elias Bogoro.

Dr Baffa, who was an aide to the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, was appointed the head of TETFund alongside 14 other heads of parastatals in the education ministry on August 2, 2016.

Sources said Baffa had been having misunderstanding with the education minister particularly on the 2019 intervention.

He was said to have disregarded the minister in virtually everything happening in TETFund, particularly in the intervention to institutions.

This was in addition to his deep and open involvement in political activities ahead of elections in Kano state.
