Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) has pledged to assist the Jigawa State Government in tackling the flood menace ravaging its University of Science and Technology.
The Executive Secretary of TETFund,Sunday Echono, made the pledge when Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa visited him in Abuja.
According to Echono, Jigawa is one of the major frontier states in terms of emerging technology.
“In spite of the challenges, Jigawa is resilient in the area of innovation and technology and I think that was why the Federal Government established the Federal University of Technology in Babura in the state.
