The World Federation of Engineering Organisation (WEFO) in collaboration with the Women in Engineering (WIE) and committee of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) have concluded a one week training course in basic computer operation for female teachers drawn from various primary schools in Enugu State.

The organisations said they decided to embark on the training following a survey conducted where they discovered that most teachers in the state’s
