In the post, the university posted in Malay, translated to English: “Congratulations UTM Centre for Innovative Planning and Development on successfully earning 11 international research grants worth RM 660, 000 FROM Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology, NITT, Zaria.”
In Malaysia’s 2021 budget proposal, education was allocated RM50.4 billion (over NGN4.6 trillion).
This is 30% less than what they budgeted for education last year, due to COVID-19.
Meanwhile, Nigerian federal universities have been closed since February due to lack of proper funding by the Federal Government.
