TETFund Skills Development Intervention Sparks 21st-Century Transformation at Osun College
The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) has received high praise for its transformative impact on Nigeria’s higher education landscape, with the Osun State College of Technology (OSCOTECH), Esa-Oke, emerging as the latest success story.
Through TETFund’s targeted Skills Development Intervention, the college has undergone a massive modernization process, significantly boosting both its academic delivery and administrative capabilities.
In an official letter of appreciation addressed to TETFund, the Rector of the College, Mr. S. A. Adewumi, revealed that the intervention project has been successfully completed.
He noted that the initiative provided the institution with critical, high-tech infrastructure that had previously been financially out of reach.
Prior to the intervention, OSCOTECH struggled with persistent power outages and unreliable internet access, which routinely disrupted campus operations.
The TETFund project directly tackled these bottlenecks by introducing cutting-edge, sustainable solutions.
According to Mr. Adewumi, the installation of *Starlink internet* and a *mini-solar grid* has completely revolutionized daily life on campus.
“The Starlink internet and mini-solar grid components of the project, no doubt, have enabled our college to address some of its most fundamental power and connectivity-related challenges,” Adewumi stated.
“The College can now boast of independent and stable electricity and internet connectivity, which have greatly improved the College resources and capacity to drive academic and administrative engagements.”
Key Impacts of the TETFund Intervention
The modern upgrades have injected a new wave of energy into the campus and the surrounding community. The primary benefits of the intervention include:
* Industry-Relevant Skills: Lecturers are now fully equipped to deliver practical, 21st-century training rather than relying strictly on theory.

*Upgraded Training Facilities:The acquisition of advanced equipment has elevated the quality of the college’s diverse academic programmes.
*Administrative Efficiency: Stable power and high-speed internet have streamlined the institution’s bureaucratic and operational workflows.
The management of OSCOTECH expressed deep gratitude to TETFund for fulfilling its financial commitments and successfully releasing all due payments for the project.
The college’s leadership reaffirmed its strict commitment to the judicious use of all intervention resources to ensure the long-term sustainability of these gains.
In a statement issued on Friday, June 5, 2026, by Abdulmumin Oniyangi, TETFund’s Director of Public Affairs, the Fund reiterated that the Skills Development Intervention remains a core pillar of its broader mandate to rehabilitate, restore, and consolidate tertiary education across Nigeria.
With these infrastructure upgrades, OSCOTECH is now firmly positioned to meet the demands of a technology-driven educational era, setting a benchmark for other beneficiary institutions across the country.
