Ekiti Governor Kayode Fayemi has assented into law the bill seeking upgrading of the College of Education Ikere- Ekiti to the University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere Ekiti.

The Governor signed the bill into law at the exquisite Executive Council Chamber, Government House, Ado-Ekiti, as part of activities making the second anniversary of his administration.

The College of Education Ikere- Ekiti (formerly Ondo State College of Education) was established by an Edict on December 5, 1977.

Fayemi, who stated the development was in realisation of his administration resolve to promote knowledge economy in the state, assured his government would continue to give utmost priority to the promotion of knowledge in the State.

Commending the Speaker and Assembly members for passing the bill that enhance the fulfilment of his administration’s drive to improve the lives of the people, Fayemi noted the stress of passing bill to law could be tedious and demanding.

According to him, the bill, which was passed independently by Members of the House of Assembly as part of their constitutional responsibilities was done in the best interest of the people of the State.

Fayemi who noted that the three arms of Government are designed to complement one another for peace and good governance promised that his administration would continue to promote harmonious working relationship with the legislators towards maintaining their institutional autonomy.

He said; “Mr speaker has already enumerated several bills that have been passed into law by the State Assembly but the one that assent is being given to today is the one that underscores the importance we attached to the knowledge economy.

“I have no doubt that the new legislation I am about to sign will enhance our restoration agenda and make favourable impart in the lives of our people. The three arms of government, as we all know, are to complement one another for good governance, peace and harmony.

“I am glad that our lawmakers are living up to their constitutional responsibilities of legislation, representation, appropriation and oversight which they must continue to carry out with the larger interest of Ekiti people at the back of their mind.

Earlier, the Speaker Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Funminiyi Afuye disclosed that the bill was one of the 32 bills passed by the sixth Assembly and signed into law by the Governor.

The Speaker explained that the passage of the bill was in response to the long agitation of the Ikere people and to promote and sustain the legacy of knowledge economy which is one of the cardinal programmes of the Fayemi-led administration.

He said.” We are presenting the University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere Ekiti law for your assent. This is a salutary initiative of your administration.”

The provost, Professor Olufemi Adeoluwa and the Chairman Governing Council of the College, Chief Afolabi Ojuawo said the event marked the realization of the long expectation of the college. They expressed the readiness of the college to start on a fresh note, assuring that both the human and infrastructural resources needed for the smooth running of the institution were on the ground.

commendable.
I hope he will also fund it to university standard

It is not commendable. Eksu should be upgraded first before thinking of converting that college

Nice one from Gov. Fayemi


Please let's help save a life

#EndSARS

Commendable

Nice one

Why?

Ok

Upgrade... Good riddance.

Did he used his father money? No, therefore ''Ekiti government" should be used instead of FAYEMI.

I tire for the country ooo

Too many universities.. yet very little are literate.

Dayoebe:
commendable.

I hope he will also fund it to university standard

The existing state university is a shadow and a glorified secondary school due to fund.

Really?

What does it matter in this country where education is no longer a priority. Rubbish

Had it been I'm from Ifaki Ekiti, this would have been the best opportunity for me to protest against the daylight robbery of JKF on my town!
You Scrapped USTI only to install College of Agric in your town. You scraped USTI only to remodeled and repackaged it for them in Ikere Ekiti. It's shameful.

He told us Ekiti State didn't have the resources to maintain usti and unad simultaneously back then so he had to crash usti somehow

That's part of creating employment bros, they can employ more people like that now

Wawu, add infrastructure 2

I Will marry tomorrow


The lure of untainted flower,

Its sweet perfume encased in a whorl.

Alas! That which I await is scarce.
This memory will be banished tomorrow.


Tomorrow ,

I must satisfy her.
My labour waits for her belly:
The weary days
The sun

The rains of my struggles
Bear fruit tomorrow.


Tomorrow.


She said, “I will come tomorrow”
Her many delays must end tomorrow
‘cos her quest for vanities are fully spent.
Our wedding shall be tomorrow.

Tomorrow,

Her lust shall be feted
Her feathers of courtship plucked!
The downs, I know, shall be not be rubied
But tomorrow we shall deceitfully walk to the altar.

Tomorrow.
I bid you, wait till tomorrow.
She goes home now to break her bond
With him that was in her dreams only yesterday.

I, shall wait till tomorrow

To make her drink from her fountain of lust.
Her secret desire of a ride to a far country
On her lover’s back, a wish not penny can grant.



Tomorrow.
I must nurture the wounds and scars of another
And regret I never made the first cut.
Yet, she must do it again as before.
But we shall start tomorrow.

Tomorrow
She shall dance like a maiden untouched;
All her lovers in the pew,
Mocking my folly with unspoken memories of their voyages
And I, a victim of blemished womanhood,
Ready to fool the world in “unholy matrimony.”

Tomorrow,
When she parades foolishness for fashion

Then, call her not my wife.
When she fights on the street in rage and fury
Oh, call her not my wife.
When she slips into darkness to drink from the cup of a rival
Please, call her not my wife.
When the stench of her reputation chokes the neighbourhood
Then, remember her not as my wife.
When she regales her mates with tall tales to my hurt
Please, call her not my wife,
When she wraps herself in fineries yet uglier than a mummy
Please, call her not my wife,
When godliness is exited and the fear of God abolished
Please, call her not my wife
Think no shame on me
Then, when she becomes a Matron over innocent children.

But,
I must marry

Tomorrow

Be it for a day before I die.

In Swahili

Ataoa kesho

Mvuto wa maua yasiyotiwa rangi,

Manukato yake matamu yaliyofungwa kwa nani.

Ole! Kile ninachosubiri ni chache.
Kumbukumbu hii itafutwa kesho.


Kesho,

Lazima nimridhishe.
Kazi yangu inasubiri tumbo lake.
Siku zilizochoka
Jua

Mvua za mapambano yangu
kuzaa matunda kesho.


Kesho.


Alisema, "nitakuja kesho"
Ucheleweshaji wake mwingi lazima uishe kesho
Sababu hamu yake ya ubatili imetumika kabisa.
Harusi yetu itakuwa kesho.

Kesho,

Tamaa yake itakuwa sherehe
Manyoya yake ya uchumba yaling'olewa!
Hekaheka, najua, haitasuguliwa
lakini kesho tutatembea kwa hila madhabahuni.

Kesho.
Ninakuambia, subiri kesho.
Anaenda nyumbani sasa kuvunja dhamana yake
Pamoja naye ambaye alikuwa katika ndoto zake jana tu.

Mimi, nitangojea hadi kesho

Kumnywesha kutoka kwenye chemchemi yake ya tamaa.
Tamaa yake ya siri ya kusafiri kwenda nchi ya mbali
mgongoni mwa mpenzi wake, hamu sio senti inaweza kutoa.



Kesho.
Lazima nikuze vidonda na makovu ya mwingine
Na majuto sikuwahi kukata kwanza.
Walakini, lazima afanye tena kama hapo awali.
Lakini tutaanza kesho.

Kesho
Atacheza kama msichana asiyeguswa;
Wapenzi wake wote kwenye kiti,
nikidhihaki upumbavu wangu na kumbukumbu zisizosemwa za safari zao
Na mimi, mwathirika wa ujinga wa kike,
Tayari kuudanganya ulimwengu katika "ndoa isiyo takatifu."

Kesho,
Wakati anaonyesha upumbavu kwa mtindo

Kisha, msimuite mke wangu.
Wakati anapigana mitaani kwa hasira na ghadhabu
eeh, msimuite mke wangu.
wakati anateleza gizani kunywa kikombe cha mpinzani
Tafadhali, usimwite mke wangu.
Wakati uvundo wa sifa yake unasonga ujirani
Basi, msimkumbuke kama mke wangu.
Wakati yeye anawaburudisha wenzi wake na hadithi ndefu kwa kuumia kwangu
Tafadhali, usimwite mke wangu,
wakati anajifunga kwa uzuri lakini mbaya kuliko mummy
Tafadhali, usimwite mke wangu,
Wakati utauwa unapoondolewa na hofu ya Mungu imekomeshwa
Tafadhali, usimwite mke wangu
Usifikirie aibu juu yangu
Halafu, wakati anakuwa Matron juu ya watoto wasio na hatia.

Lakini,
Lazima niolewe

Kesho

iwe kwa siku moja kabla sijafa.
