 President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed a bill establishing the Federal University of Environmental Technology in Ogoni, Rivers State. 

The announcement was made on Monday by Bwala Daniel, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication.  

In a statement, Daniel expressed the President’s commitment to addressing historical inequalities and fostering balanced growth across the nation. “I am pleased to inform Nigerians that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assented to the bill establishing the Federal University of Environmental Technology, Ogoni, in Rivers State,” he said.  

The establishment of the university aligns with the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope agenda, which emphasizes creating inclusive institutions to promote equitable development.
