The sacked Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, Abdullahi Baffa, has alleged that he was sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari over an accusation from the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, that he collects bribes from tertiary institutions.
Baffa was sacked on Monday by President Buhari and replaced with Prof. Suleiman Bogoro, who was earlier sacked from the same position in 2016.

Baffa, speaking on the allegations, said: “He mentioned the first, the second and the third one.
“He said I distributed over N200 billion to tertiary institutions.
“(He said) even if I used to collect at least 10 per cent as a kickback, I am supposed to have gotten at least N20 billion for myself.”
However, Baffa denied collecting kickbacks from any institution that TETFund distributed money to.
He said: “I want to say here now that I have never asked any institution to give anything as kickback and if there is, let that school come forward.
“If they bring any evidence indicting me, I’m ready to accept death punishment.”
Baffa alleged that Adamu on several occasions accused him of insubordination for addressing press conferences without his consent.
