  1. Federal University of Science and Technology Lau, Taraba State,
  2. Federal University of Agriculture
  3. Technology, Aboh, Delta State and City University of Technology Auchi, Edo State.

The passage of the bills followed the consideration and adoption of three separate reports by the Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND.
