Minna - Governor Abubakar Bello has approved the take off of the state University of Education.
Bello
gave the approval on Wednesday during an inspection of the site of the
institution situated inside the current College of Education in Minna.
He
said that the take off of the university would benefit not only people
of the state but other Nigerians from within and outside the country.
He
said that the administration would pursue the continuous training and
retraining of teachers in order to ensure qualitative education to all
students of the institution.
"Since
assumption into office, I have received pieces of advice from different
people on weather the university should commence or not.
"Already
we have an existing state owned IBB university. The reason is whether
we can manage to finance another university as the already existing
university still needs more resources to survive.
"We
have to look at our resources first. If we cannot afford to finance the
university as times go by, then we will come back to our drawing
board," he said.
He commended the management of the school for
their exemplary commitment, adding that government would continue to
deliver quality education to the people.
Professor Muhammed
Daniyan, Chairman Governing Board of the University, disclosed that many
of the university staff are being trained to take up the new
challenges.
He said that 57 academic staff of the university are
currently undergoing their various doctorate degrees while 97 are doing
their masters degrees.
"The establishment of the University of
Education is to drive away quacks in the profession and to bring sanity
to our education sector," he said.
