The Federal College of Education (Technical), FCE (T), Akoka on Friday said it had received over N300 million support from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) in 2018.

Dr Sijibomi Olusanya, Provost of the College, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on the sideline of the 2017/2018 matriculation for students of the Distance Learning Programme (DLP).

Olusanya said the chunk of the fund would be used for the construction of block of classrooms for the School of Vocational Education.

According to him, the fund will also be used to build a workshop for the School of Technical Education.

The provost said that the construction of the second phase of the college library, also funded by TETFUND was ongoing and almost 60 per cent completed.

According to him, the phase two libraries worth over N200 million will be completed, hopefully before August.

On the land dispute between the College and the University of Lagos, Olusanya said the Federal Ministry of Education was still looking into the issue.

“The ministry had just addressed the governing council of UNILAG but has yet to give us a feedback on their discussion,” he said.
