Governing Councils Urges Fed Govt To Upgrade Colleges Of Education To Universities

#mynameiskay

The presidents of the Governing Councils of the four schools of education that Goodluck Jonathan upgraded at universities have asked the federal government to make a change. Institutions are: Adeyemi College of Education in the State, Federal Faculty of Education, Zaria, Kaduna State, Federal Faculty of Education, Kano and Alvan Ikoku Educational School, Owerri. The past administration has declared in its final days the faculties of the university of education to train teachers for Nigerian schools. However, the government of Muhammad Bukhari has changed its decision to take office due to lack of funds.

In a statement in Osogbo on Friday, Mr John Fasogbon on behalf of the council chairmen, appealed to the Federal Government to upgrade the institutions to universities.

Fasogbon, who is the Chairman of the Governing Council of Alvan Ikoku College of Education, said granting the institutions university status would enable them to produce teachers for schools.

He said the step would help in realising the Federal Government’s effort to develop the education sector.

“We want to appeal to the Honourable Minister to use his good offices to urgently re-pronounce the affected universities in order to make them functional for the benefit of Nigerians,’’ he said.

Fasogbon also appealed to the government to allow the tenure of the governing councils to lapse before appointing new ones. ❤ ❤ 2348050417551 available for a good time ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
