Dr. Bertolotto explained that the first materials to be used in the contraction of the TTC are arriving from Italy and works should start next week.
He added that the TTC will be a modern campus to accommodate the college, and 90 students and teachers at a cost of two million US dollars.
Mr. Bertolotto said the three-year course starts in April 2011 and the TTC takes candidates from all over South Sudan.
