The Industrial Training Fund (ITF) has trained 65 teachers and donated 210 desks to two schools in Plateau, its Director-General, Mr Joseph Ari, said on Thursday in Jos.

Ari, who said that the gesture was part of ITF’s corporate responsibility to its host community, identified the benefiting schools as Government Science School, Kuru, and St. Joseph Vianney Minor Seminary, Barkin-Ladi.

He said that the schools also received various teaching aids to improve the quality of service delivery.

According to him, ITF donated 20 computers to the two schools and renovated the sick bay at the seminary.

“We also converted the school dispensary of the Science School, Kuru to a sick bay, and provided the required equipment and drugs,” he said.
