ESUT to Commission State-of-the-Art Content Creation Studio

The Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) has unveiled plans to commission a Content Creation Studio equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.

The plan was disclosed by the ESUT Director of TETFund, Engr. Dr. Egwuagu Onyekachi, on Thursday during the Vice-Chancellor's inspection tour.

Dr. Egwuagu stated that ESUT students must be entrepreneurial, while commending the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Aloysius-Michaels Okolie, for approving the construction of the studio.

He said the initiative was conceived to curb accidents involving students who move around the campus creating content, with some even falling into gutters in the process.

According to him, there should be a well-furnished space where students can create their content safely and leave.

"As I am talking now, the content studio has been completed, fully furnished, air-conditioned and off the national grid. It is powered by solar at the ICT building," he said.

He added that the Public Relations Unit had earlier complained about the need for digital cameras for photography and videography, a request which the Vice-Chancellor approved, leading to the purchase of high-calibre cameras and lenses.

"This is why he was compelled to complete the abandoned Entrepreneurship project, so that students can become employers of labour. When you graduate, you should engage yourself with a skill," Dr. Egwuagu noted.

The TETFund Director emphasized that the Vice-Chancellor monitors activities in the university in disguise, unknown to many.

"That is where he discovered that a lot of times students stress themselves; some will even fall inside the gutter while creating content. He said no, the narrative has to change. Through TETFund, he has created a studio fully furnished with AI facilities," he said.

He explained that the commissioning was delayed because the ICT Director said the vendor was yet to hand over the keys, adding that they were supposed to have visited the facility.

In his remarks, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Aloysius-Michaels Okolie, said: "We have gotten to a level where we cannot enumerate all that we have been doing. We are doing them as they come, to the glory of God."
