The Federal Government has reverted its decision to upgrade some colleges of education to universities of education.

It would be recalled that the Federal Government had earlier approved the upgrade of Federal College of Education, Kano; Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo; Federal College of Education, Zaria; and Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, Owerri to universities of education.

Consequently the provosts of the affected institutions have been directed to resume in their offices immediately.

Responding to this, the Provost of the Provost, Federal College of Education, Kano, Dr. Rabi Jubrila Muhammed, debunked the rumour that this reversal was influenced by the provost if the institutions mentioned, saying it was not possible four for provision to influence the decision of

Meanwhile, the members of Academic Staff Union of the FCE, Kano, are planning to embark on a one-week warning strike to express their dissatisfaction over the issue.

Where is that babe? LadyF

Colleh babes dey vex o... Thinking they where to be Uni babes


Yatch 360

Wise decision, those schools aren't equipped enough to be labelled Universities

I think we are getting closer 4th to comment.

Good move...imagine Colleges of Education (not even polytechnics) becoming FEDERAL universities!

Bubu is an EP (enemy of progress). He's reversing his predecessor' giant strides and at the same time pushing the nation back. We need even more univ to stop the mass exodus of Nigerians to foreign countries for academic tourism

Buhari is an enemy of progress....




Does he think Nigeria is his private estate where out of vengeance and retribution he can dish out orders and decrees without recourse to how it may affect the masses.. for Heaven sake the colleges of education were just upgraded to universities of education and still cater to the grooming of teachers and other teaching oriented professions, y the reversal.. Y not equip the said universities, is government no longer a going concern??

Ordinarily, there shoudn't be any diffference in the quality of education one must receive at any of this institutions be it universities, polytechnics or colleges of education. Whatever status they bear must not limit their proper equipment and structuring to meet standard educational needs..

However, in the context of the Nigeria educational structure and systems, with the ever present discrimination meted out to students from polytechnics and colleges of educations, there needs to be some adjustments, and i think this was what prompted the decision to the upgrade of this institutions to universities...

also this institutions; Alvan for example have being running affiliated programs with other universities(UNN in the case of Alvan) for many years now and already have the structures in place for upgrades.. so the policy reversal with all its political undertones is totally wrong.

If he goes ahead with this, i hope he also reverts the other universities established mostly in the north during the past administration

This olodo man is confused, someone should wake me up when Bubu knows what he's doing.
I hate to say this but we would be better served with Prof. Yeye Osibanjo, God please answer our prayers like you did in 2003, 2007 and 2011, please God forgive us our sins, God please do something.
The ineptness can't continue, we approach, headlong into the abyss.

These would have reduced the competition in seeking admission.

A man that forged result, and still forged Math-F9 for himself is sincere enough about his dull satus and dullard-enough about his certificate status.

You don't make this type of people president.

What do you expect from somebody that didn't see the four walls of a school.

I have some questions for all of you.

1.Do you have the extra trillions of naira needed to upgrade the colleges of education to universities.?

2.Do you have the manpower needed for the newly upgraded universities? When we do not have enough lecturers for the original ones...talk-less of the private unis, or the new ones GEJ established?

3.Have you forgotten that the price of oil has dropped....and as such we have to cut our coats according to size?

Look.....education in Nigeria has serious funding problems. And unless we have the extra cash.....and the extra manpower....especially lecturers.....we cannot proceed with upgrading....or even establish new universities.

That is the problem....and even if GEJ was in charge...he probably would have reversed the decisions too.

So.....do you have any alternative idea? Must we establish schools and universities that we cannot cater for in the long term? Or would you chaps willingly pay school fees of up to N400000-500000 just so that these new universities you like can be properly funded?

Some of you Nigerians.....you like awoof....but you do not consider where the awoof is gonna come from. PDP and APC both.

Dont just upgrade the name and not upgrade the school itself.. Am in support if it wasnt gonna be done properly it shouldnt be done at all

What do you expect from somebody that didn't see the four walls of a school.

Because of this New... One final year of My friend have been failing 2 or 3 course every semester hoping to become a University Graduate

Are we retrogressing? Policies are just wacky.

Lmao....

unifaziry lo n se

Hmmm
