Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara state has appointed Professor Shuaib Oba Abdulraheem as chairman of the study, planning and implementation committee for the establishment of the Kwara state University of Education.
Governor AbdulRazaq’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Rafiu Ajakaye , who disclosed this in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com, noted that Professor Oba will head an 11-person committee comprising Deacon Pastor Afolayan J. Babatunde (Secretary); Professor (Mrs) Medinat Salman; Prof. (Mrs.) Sidikat F. Adeyemi; Prof. Umar Gunu; Engineer Sa’ad Belgore; Mrs. Risikat Lawal; Femi Aina; former Special Adviser on Special Duties Alhaji Abubakar Abdul-Razaq Jiddah; and a representative each of the Ministries of Housing and Urban Development and Justice (the latter being a female).
Professor Oba AbdulRaheem , who is the Talba of Ilorin, and a one-time, Vice- Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, was also the pioneer Chairman of the Federal Character Commission, FCC.
‘The Abdul Razaq administration has since started preliminary efforts to birth the University of Education using one of the three existing Colleges of Education as the launch pad.
The state is similarly pulling the strings to have Abuja adopt one of the CoEDs as a Federal College of Education, while the third one adopts dual-mode that empowers it to issue bachelor’s degree in line with the recent laws governing Colleges of Education in Nigeria.
The 11-person committee will work out the modalities for the establishment, workings, and funding of the school. It will, among other things, develop the rationale and justification for a state-owned specialized university of education, including an assessment of the existing conventional, non-degree awarding —NCE/Diploma — colleges or university which limited facilities may fall short of the eligibility for automatic registration with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com
