The African Leadership Strategy and Transparency Development Initiative (ALSTDI) says its recent assessment of the Federal College of Education (FCE), Eha-Amufu, Enugu State, shows changes in infrastructure and academic programmes over the past seven years.
The Executive Director of ALSTDI, Mr Nelson Ossaieze, disclosed this during a news conference on Saturday in Abuja.
Ossaieze said the organisation’s position was aimed at promoting values of transparency, responsibility and public service among citizens and leaders.
He said ALSTDI conducted a monitoring and evaluation of projects, manpower development and community engagement at the college covering the period of the current provost, Prof. Pauline Ikwuegbu.
According to him, the assessment reviewed infrastructure, academic development and relations with host communities.
“Prior to this period, preliminary findings and community feedback indicated challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited power supply, and concerns around community inclusion,” he said.
Ossaieze said the organisation observed improvements in some areas, including road access within the campus, renovation of hostels and construction of new academic facilities.
He added that the evaluation also noted the provision of a library complex, entrepreneurship centre and solar-powered electricity installations across parts of the institution.
According to him, the projects were found to be in use as of the first quarter of 2026.
Ossaieze said the college had also expanded its academic offerings to include both Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) and degree programmes.
He noted that the expansion was supported by staff development initiatives, including participation in TETFund-sponsored training and research programmes.
The ALSTDI director further said the organisation observed efforts to improve agricultural training facilities within the college, including livestock and crop production units.
He added that issues relating to community engagement and employment opportunities for host communities were also considered in the review.
Ossaieze said the organisation would continue to monitor developments and encourage accountability in public institutions. (NAN)
