Contractors handling Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) projects in the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) Enugu have been given ninety days to complete projects from 2014 to 2016 or risk being blacklisted.
This was the resolution of the house after the consideration of a report presented by the houseHouseittee chairman on education Mathew Ugwueze on the floor of the House.
Ugwueze in a report presented to the House, decried the inability of IMT in accessing 2014, 2015 and the 2016 TETFUND.
In the report, Ugwueze explained that TETFUND increased the financial profile of higher institutions in developing the facilities and enhancing research while decrying the backwardness of IMT in accessing its statutory Tertiary education funding as a result of the activities of contractors who have for many years abandoned such projects and cannot be reached.

The committee however recommended that all contractors at IMT should ensure the supply of furniture required within 30days for safe keep by the management.
While commending the committee on its extensive legislative oversight, members n their separate contributions suggested the TETFUND contractors and IMT management be investigated by the house committee on anti-corruption.
The house however in one prayer urged the state government to use all instruments to ensure TETFUND erring contractors return to site and complete all projects within ninety days.
Alos at plenary, the House also received a report from the House committee on judiciary, public petition, ethics and privileges on the usurpation of town union of Akwuke and Akwuke- Uwani communities.
The report which was presented by the committee chairman, Philip Nnamani was deferred to later date for consideration.
