The Federal Ministry of Education says letters regarding
locations of the six newly approved Federal Colleges of Education
in the country have been sent to governors of the six benefitting
states.
This is contained in a statement by the ministry’s Director,
Press and Public Relations, Mr Ben Goong, Director, and issued on
Monday in Abuja.
According to Goong, the clarification on the locations of the
colleges becomes necessary in order to dispel rumours circulating
in some sections of the media.
“The attention of the Federal Ministry of Education has been
drawn to the mutilation of official correspondence between the
ministry and the Government of Osun, over the location of the newly
approved Federal College of Education in the state, which has been
widely circulated in the social and conventional media.
“To this effect, therefore, the Federal Ministry of Education
wishes to clarify the locations of the Colleges as follows: BAUCHI
-Location- Jama’are in Jama’are Local Government and BENUE –
Location- Odugbo in Apa Local Government.
”Others are Ebonyi- Location- Isu in Onicha Local Government,
EDO – Location- Ekiadolor in Ovia North East Local Government, OSUN
– Location – Iwo in Iwo Local Government and Sokoto – Location-
Gidan Madi in Tangaza Local Government,” he stated.
He added that a technical team from the ministry and the
National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) would be
visiting the benefitting states to inspect and assess the sites in
the coming weeks.
Goong added that these were all in preparation for the take-off
of the colleges in October.
