FUHSO Concludes Training on Equipment Handling and Maintenance

The Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo (FUHSO), has concluded a week-long training programme on equipment handling and maintenance for its staff, organised by the university’s Entrepreneurship Development Centre (EDC) in collaboration with the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).

The training, held from Monday, October 19, to Friday, October 23, 2026, was designed to strengthen staff capacity in the proper use, routine maintenance and effective management of university equipment to promote operational efficiency and long-term sustainability.

The programme focused on photography and videography, equipping participants with practical skills to support the university’s communication, documentation and public relations activities.

In photography, participants were trained in composition, camera handling and techniques for capturing high-quality images. The facilitators combined theoretical lessons with practical sessions, allowing participants to apply their knowledge and develop confidence in using the equipment.

The videography sessions covered the fundamentals of shooting, framing and producing video content. The training is expected to improve participants' ability to professionally document university activities and contribute to the institution's visibility and communication objectives.

Speaking on behalf of the participants, the Head of the University's Information Unit, Mr Sunday Igah, appreciated the university management and the Entrepreneurship Development Centre for providing the opportunity.

He described the training as timely and impactful, while commending the facilitators for their patience and willingness to share their expertise.

In his closing remarks, the pioneer Acting Director of the Entrepreneurship Development Centre, Dr Emmanuel I. Ogbenjuwa, commended TETFund and the university management for creating an enabling environment for the successful conduct of the programme.

He assured that the centre would continue to pursue its mandate and make a lasting impact through capacity-building initiatives and other relevant programmes.
