At BOI, we understand that Nigeria’s progress hinges on the synergy between education and enterprise. Earlier this week, our MD/CEO, @dr.olasupoolusi, joined forces with @nig.education, @tetfund, and other key stakeholders to launch the Tertiary Institution Staff Support Fund (TISSF). This new loan scheme specifically targets staff of tertiary institutions across the nation.
The TISSF represents more than just financial assistance. It is an investment in the very individuals who shape our educational system. By supporting educators, we ensure that their personal and professional growth directly contributes to national development. This initiative recognizes the vital role that well-supported staff play in enhancing the quality of education in Nigeria.
During the launch, Dr. Olusupoolusi emphasized the significance of this fund. He highlighted how empowering educational staff can lead to improved teaching standards and better learning outcomes for students. This, in turn, fosters a more skilled workforce ready to meet the demands of Nigeria’s evolving economy.
The collaboration among various stakeholders underscores a collective commitment to education. By pooling resources and expertise, we can create a more robust support system for tertiary institutions. This teamwork is crucial for addressing the challenges faced by educators and ensuring that they have the tools needed to succeed.
Furthermore, the TISSF aims to alleviate financial burdens on staff members. Many educators struggle with financial constraints that impact their professional development. Through this loan scheme, we offer a pathway for staff to access funds for training, workshops, and further education. This investment in their skills ultimately enhances the quality of education provided to students.

In addition to financial benefits, the TISSF fosters a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Educators who receive support can pursue new teaching methods and innovations. This adaptability is essential in a rapidly changing educational landscape, where new technologies and approaches continuously emerge.
Moreover, the fund aligns with BOI’s broader mission of promoting sustainable development. By focusing on education, we are investing in the future of Nigeria. A well-educated population is pivotal for driving economic growth and social progress. This initiative contributes to building a foundation that benefits not just individuals, but society as a whole.
As we move forward, the TISSF will serve as a model for similar initiatives. By demonstrating the positive impact of investing in education, we hope to inspire more partnerships and funding opportunities. The success of this program could pave the way for additional support schemes that target various sectors, reinforcing the importance of education in national development.
In conclusion, the launch of the Tertiary Institution Staff Support Fund marks a significant step for BOI and our partners. By empowering educators, we are investing in Nigeria’s future. The TISSF is not merely a loan scheme; it is a commitment to enhancing the educational landscape. Together, we can ensure that the growth of our educational staff translates into meaningful national development. This initiative embodies the belief that education and enterprise must work hand in hand for Nigeria to thrive.
