Enugu State Coll. of Edu. battles with dearth of manpower

The Provost, Enugu State College of Education Technical, Dr Osondu Eze, says the institution is challenged by the dearth of specialised personnel, especially in the technical section.

Eze said this on Friday, when the state House of Assembly Committee on Education, Science and Technology, visited the college.
He said that shortage of manpower was affecting the teaching of practicals in the institution.

He said that machines meant for practical demonstrations had been dormant because there were no qualified personnel to operate them.
The provost expressed profound gratitude to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) for its supports to the college.
”Some of the machines I am talking about were acquired through TETFUND.
“We need to use them to enhance teaching and learning activities,” he said.
