The office of the Accountant-General of the Federation has announced an academic excellence endowment fund for the best three female graduates in Nigeria for the next 20 years.

The AGF Ahmed Idris, made the announcement over the weekend, when the Management of Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano, paid a courtesy visit to the Treasury House in Abuja. He said the move became necessary to encourage and boost female education across Nigeria.

He also added that his office will play a role of igniting some sense of development by talking to Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) for intervention to assist Yusuf Maitama Sule University just as CBN’s intervention at Bayero University Kano (BUK).
