The study specifically established the extent TETFund intervention influenced academic attainment of tertiary educational institutions in South East, Nigeria and determine the extent TETFund intervention affected graduate employability of tertiary educational institutions in South East, Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive survey design while the quantitative data used in the study was sourced primarily from a well-structured questionnaire. Study population was 19,200 academic and non-academic staff of the target tertiary educational institutions in the area. Freud and Williams (1986) formula for sample size determination was employed to arrive at a sample size of 899. Data collected for the study were analysed using descriptive statistics (frequency tables, percentages, mean and standard deviations) while the research hypotheses were tested using one-sample student’s t-test. Findings revealed that academic attainment (t*=32.716, p=0.000<0.05) and graduate employability (t*=13.910, p=0.000<0.05) in tertiary educational institutions in South East, Nigeria. Implication of the findings is that TETFund intervention played substantial role in the development of sustainable tertiary educational institutions in Southeastern Nigeria. Conclusion was drawn that TETFund intervention is a noteworthy promoter of sustainable development in tertiary educational institutions in South East, Nigeria. The study recommended that the Tertiary educational institutions should work towards strengthening their relationship with TETFund so that they make more funds available for building/acquiring more infrastructural facilities like desks/chairs, provision of modern lecture halls and classrooms, building modern student hostels, providing modern ICT facilities, equipping the libraries and laboratories, etc
