Workers under the umbrella of the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, , have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, to order the immediate takeoff of the Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo in Ondo State for academic activities.
While congratulating the Minister on his recent appointment, the union noted that delay in the takeoff of the university and non-listing of the institution among the Colleges of education, were now causing palpable apprehension among staff, students and members of the host Ondo community. “It was due to this that the College was upgraded to a University. It is also worth mentioning that the Ondo State University of Medical Sciences took off from Adeyemi College of Education Campus due to the quality of facilities in the institution.
“This has become a subject of palpable apprehension among staff, students and members of the host community especially now that the institution is not listed as a College of Education in the new enacted and gazatted Federal College of Education Act, 2023. Some measure of tension is also brewing as a result of the delay.Tinubu grants approval for kick-off of 6 out of 14 newly established varsities
