The Enugu State Government has approved the
upgrading of Institute of Management and Technology
(IMT), Enugu, to be a degree-awarding institution.
The Commissioner for Information, Dr Godwin
Udeuhele, made the disclosure interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Monday.
Udeuhele said that the move was to reposition the age-
long institution to meet the demands of the 21st century
needs.
“The Enugu State executive council has recently
approved the upgrade of the Institute of Management
and Technology (IMT), Enugu, to a degree-awarding
institution.
“This is meant for the institution to meet the
educational, socio-political and economic needs of the
state,’’ he said.
The commissioner said that the council would be
sending a bill to the House of Assembly to do the
necessary amendment to the law establishing the
institution.
“In line with this decision, the council has directed the
Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr
Miletus Eze, to draft a bill to be forwarded to the Enugu
State House of Assembly for necessary action,’’ he said.
NAN recalls that IMT came into existence under the then
East Central State of Nigeria Edict number 10 of 1973
promulgated by the Administrator of East Central State –
Chief Ukpabi Asika. (NAN)
