Ugwuanyi unveils multiple projects in IMT, Enugu

ENUGUState Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, yesterday, inaugurated several infrastructure projects at the state- owned Institute of Management and Technology ( IMT), Enugu, executed by the state government.

He explained that the projects were in furtherance of his administration’s concerted efforts to reposition the institution by addressing the challenges of decayed infrastructure and inadequate human resources.

Some of the projects are: A block of 15 classrooms; offices for the Registry Division ( Exams and Records) with accommodation for no fewer than 75 members of staff; block of fully furnished ultra- modern Academic Staff Office complex comprising 60 offices with intercom facility; and a Medical Centre with necessary equipment for provision of quality medical services to staff and students.

Inaugurating the projects, Ugwuanyi disclosed that the intervention was necessitated by the need to provide the needed infrastructure transformation in IMT, as well as save the institute from collapse and withdrawal of its accreditation.

Ugwuanyi also directed the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Greg Nnaji, to summon the contractor handling the rehabilitation of internal roads in the Institute to return to site immediately to complete the project.

He said: “Our administration has supported the Institute to achieve full accreditation of all academic programmes, including the institution’s accreditation while, continuing the improvement in the overall infrastructure health of the institute.”

He commended the Council and Management of IMT for providing the leadership that ensured the delivery of the vision, strategy, plan and projects, urging the staff and students to use the infrastructure judiciously.
