FG inaugurates N274m TETFUND projects in Cross River

The Federal Government has inaugurated projects worth N274 million at the Federal College of Education, (FCE), Obudu. The projects were executed through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).

They include a Science Complex comprising six laboratories, one auditorium, 29 offices, a gym hall as well as a storey building compromising four classroom blocks and 10 offices.

Inaugurating the projects located at the main campus of the college on Friday, the Minister of State, Power, Goddy Jedy-Agba commended the management of the institution for the judicious use of resources as exemplified in the timely completion of the projects.

Jedy-Agba who said that aside from giving face-lift to the institution, the projects will enhance teaching and learning amongst staff and students, urged the institution to maintain the projects appropriately to inspire the government to do more.

The minister said that the feat was a testament to the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to improve infrastructural development in tertiary institutions in the country.

According to him, “the President is very happy with these projects and that’s why he sent me to personally come down to commission and hand them over to the college. As I go back, I’ll report to the President that the funds have been properly utilised, and I’ll also pass the message that the school needs more investment in its internal roads. For power, I’ve heard the request.”
