<\/p>\nIn a statement signed by the State\u2019s commissioner for information, Mr. Ogbuagu Anikwe, he disclosed that three schools originally proposed for Enugu North Senatorial Zone \u2013 faculties of Medical Sciences, Agriculture, and Social Sciences \u2013 will be returned to the Zone, while the ESUT Faculty of Education will relocate to Enugu West, to be domiciled at the new University of Education, Ihe in Awgu Local Government.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cGovernor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi who chaired the meeting, noted that although the site for Enugu North campus of ESUT is yet to be determined, the Faculty of Medical Sciences will take advantage of the 400-bed specialist hospital currently under construction at Igboano to serve as a teaching facility for medical students.<\/p>\n
\u201cCouncil noted that relocating the school of medical sciences will rapidly decongest and take the pressure off the Enugu Park Lane Hospital which has been struggling for expansion space since its conversion to a Teaching Hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sum of N1.5billion was approved in the 2019 State Budget for construction of key facilities at Igboano Specialist Hospital\/ESUT Teaching Hospital, including construction of access road, external works (fencing and landscaping), as well as the provision of water and electricity.<\/p>\n
\u201cCouncil, however, voted to increase the budget to N2billion, following the decision on multi-campus structure for ESUT and additional facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Enugu West Zone, in addition to the ultramodern administrative building which is already under construction at the University site in Ihe, Council also voted to construct an access road to the University.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Council\u2019s decisions followed a proposal to restructure the Enugu State University so that various specialist learning centres can be established for each Senatorial Zone \u2013 Science, Engineering & Technology at Agbani (East), Education at Ihe (West), and Medical Sciences at Igboano (North).<\/p>\n
\u201cThese specialist centres will not only bring tertiary education closer to the grassroots but will facilitate rapid socio-economic development of all zones in Enugu State,\u201d he further stated.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
