In a move aimed at strengthening the leadership and governance of federal colleges of education across the country, President Bola Tinubu has announced the appointment of new governing councils for six such institutions.

Each governing council is headed by a chairman and includes four additional members, carefully selected to bring a diverse range of expertise and perspectives to the institutions.
Speaking on the appointments, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, expressed the President’s confidence that the new council members will serve with dedication and commitment, working to improve the standards of learning in Nigeria’s federal colleges of education.
