The Minister said a donor partner donated 520 computers to his Ministry and he will ensure that FBC gets 70 to 80 computers. The Minister also added that Tertiary Institutions are going to be inundated starting from this academic year and therefore Tunde Cole smart building is a step in the transformative education drive where one can talk about interactive lecture hall/visual learning.

The Minister continued that students with 3, 4 or 5 credits in West Africa Senior Secondary School Examination will now access Government Institutions either Technical University or a University.
Dr Wurrie concluded that human capital development is important for human empowerment that would transform Sierra Leone.
