The Federal College of Education (FCE), Obudu has seen the official opening of projects costing N274 million.

The Tertiary Education Trust Fund was used to carry out the projects (TETFUND).

A science complex with six laboratories, one auditorium, 29 offices, a gym, and a storey structure with four classroom blocks and 10 offices are among them.

The Minister of State for Power, Goddy Jedy-Agba, inaugurated the projects at the college’s main campus on Friday and praised the administration of the organization for its wise resource management, which was evident in the projects’ prompt completion.

Jedy-Agba urged the institution to maintain the projects properly to motivate the government to take further action. He claimed that in addition to giving the institution a facelift, the projects will improve teaching and learning among staff and students.

The achievement, according to the minister, demonstrated President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration’s dedication to enhancing the nation’s tertiary institutions’ infrastructure development.

“The President is quite pleased with these initiatives,” he claimed, “and he sent me to personally come down to commission and hand them over to the college. As I return, I’ll inform the President that the funds have been used appropriately and convey the message that the school has to spend more in its own resources.
