The Federal Government has shut down the Federal College of Education, Technical, Akoka, Lagos, indefinitely over the lingering leadership crisis that has rocked the institution for over two months.
The decision to close the school came from the Federal Ministry of Education, after some staff of the college aided by students attacked the a from the ministry to mediate between warring parties, damaging over five vehicles and the Provost’s official quarters.
Recall that crisis erupted at the college on May 26 following the insistence of the workers that the tenure of Azeez has lapsed.
He was appointed in 2019 for a four-year tenure and his tenure was renewed in May last year, however, in June last year, President Bola Tinubu signed a law pegging the tenure of provosts at a single term of five years.
But Azeez is saying the new law does not affect somebody like him who has started another tenure, but the workers are saying his tenure has lapsed.
