The Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT will in no distance play host to the members of the Enugu State House of Assembly Committee on Education.

The Chairman, House Committee on Education, Science and Technology, Hon Osita Eze told ESUT Monitor in an interview in his office that the visit will take place within the second quarter of the year.

The lawmaker representing Oji River State Constituency noted that the visit would enable the lawmakers and the management of the institution to interface on issues affecting the university.

“Last year and even this year, we’ve been having some forms of communication, but we have not gone for any oversight in ESUT. By the second quarter, you would see us in ESUT and in different places.

“The oversight is important, apart from being a constitutional matter, it is also important that we visit ESUT and other institutions within our jurisdiction to interface with them,” he said.

Baring last minute change in plans, the Enugu State House of Assembly is set to initiate proceedings to amend the law establishing the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) Teaching Hospital, Parklane, Enugu.

Lawmaker representing Orji River State Constituency in the State House of Assembly, Honourable Osita Eze who disclosed this in an exclusive interview with ESUT Monitor in his office recently, noted that the need to amend the law became necessary in view of prevailing health needs of the residents of the state.

Hon Eze who said he has concluded plans to introduce the bill for amendment of the law added that the intent of the new bill is to strengthen the capacity of the hospital in training and producing more nurses in the state,

“I have plans to initial a bill for the amendment of the law establishing the Paklane Teaching Hospital and the one in Agwu Campus. Because of the need for nurses in our hospitals and need for better medical care to the hospitals, we need nurses. The number of nurses we have, most of them have gone abroad, and their services are highly sought out in other parts of the country.

“This is the story behind the establishment of other centres that would help produce more nurses that would take care of the various hospitals in Enugu state and even beyond. Their services are well sought, and we need to produce more. We can’t have more than enough because their services would be needed even outside the states – within the country and outside the country. And that would generate more money in the country and within the state,” Hon Eze said.

The ESUT Teaching Hospital, Parklane was established via an Act signed by the then Governor of Enugu State, Dr Chimaroke Nnamani in April 2006
