In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) explain the circumstances that have resulted to the delay in the release of the capitation funds to universities countrywide, providing any remedial interventions aimed at addressing these delays; (2) provide detailed reports on capitation funds received by each university in the country since Financial Year 2019/2020 to date, outlining the total outstanding capitation and pending bills, if any, covering the said financial year for all the universities nationally; (3) indicate the number of Government sponsored students admitted by the Scott Christian University and capitation fund grant received by the university since Financial Year 2019/2020 to date, stating any balances owed to the University by the Government; (4) state strategies and measures taken by the Ministry of Education to ensure that both public and private universities admitting Government sponsored students, receive capitation funds and grants to ensure uninterrupted learning; and, (5) explain any oversight mechanism the Government has put in place to ensure the students use the public resources allocated to universities countrywide.
