Once a shining light of technical education in Southeast Nigeria, the Colliery Comprehensive Technical College is now a heartbreaking story of neglect and alleged mismanagement.
Afia TV Investigation:
The Chief Correspondent, Nathalie Ukwu, takes you on an exclusive tour of the school to uncover the grim reality faced by students and teachers.
Shocking Findings:
- Students are squeezed into just 30% of the original school grounds.
- Laboratories for physics and biology lie abandoned.
- Teachers' quarters and hostels are neglected or converted for other purposes.
- A petition details costly fees, poor conditions, and the erosion of the school’s founding vision.
Voices of Concern:
Alumnus Donald Agu from the class of ’85 reflects on the school’s glorious past and its rapid decline since 2009, when management was handed to the Anglican Church. “It was a symbol of hope for coal workers’ children. Now, it’s a shadow of itself,” he lamented.
Call to Action:
Civil society groups like the United Enugu Progressive Front and the Colliery Old Boys Association are rallying for the Enugu State Government to intervene and restore the institution to its former glory.
