An executive bill to grant the State-owned College of Education in Oyo university status has been approved by Governor Seyi Makinde.<\/p>\n
The bill converting Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, Oyo, into Emmanuel Alayande University of Education, Oyo was approved by the State House of Assembly on November 25.<\/p>\n
In his remarks Monday at his office’s Executive Chamber following his consent to the measure, Mr. Makinde referred to the institution’s upgrade to date as a major success of his administration.<\/p>\n
He said that, “as contained in our Roadmap to Accelerated Development in 2023,” education remained one of the administration’s top priorities.<\/p>\n
He said other relevant processes for the actualisation of the College\u2019s upgrading to a university status would be completed in a few days time.<\/p>\n
The governor commended members of the State House of Assembly, irrespective of political party affiliation, for timely and successful passage of the bill.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Speaker of the House, Adebo Ogundoyin, said that the state legislature prioritised whatever that would bring development into the state.<\/p>\n
Mr Ogundoyin commended governor Makinde for the good works being done to Improve the lives of the people of Oyo State.<\/p>\n
The institution would become the third university owned by the state, if eventually approved by the National University Commission (NUC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
