The Federal College of Education, Osiele, Abeokuta has joined the league of colleges of education in the country that now have two deputy provosts, one for academic and the other for administration in order to ease the burden of running the school.
This new adaptation becomes operational this new year to allow the college conform to the recently promulgated act which now governs colleges of education in the country.
To this end, Dr. Joseph Bankole Filani and Dr. Temitayo Abosede Akinyele has been elevated to the substantive positions of Deputy Provosts in charge of Academic and Administration respectively.
The two deputy provosts assumed office officially on the 2nd of January, this new year.
According to Mr. Anthony Ogundipe, the Deputy Director, Public Relations and Information Services of the college, the former Deputy Provost of the college, Dr. Rasak Abiodun Badaru has bowed out of the college having reached the mandatory retirement age of 65 years.
Ogundipe said the bowing out of Dr. Badaru out of government service paved way for the coming in in of the two newly appointed deputy provosts and this "ended an era while paving way for the commencement of another".
The college's spokesman also described the coming on board of Doctors Filani and Akinyele as marking "the beginning of yet another giant stride in the anal of our history as a College and a formidable Citadel of Learning".
He confirmed that the appointment of the two deputy provosts was preceded by the elections of the Academic Board, presentation by the Management to the Governing Council and of course, ratification.
Ogundipe further assured that the Provost of FCE, Osiele, Abeokuta, Dr. Rafiu Adekola Soyele "being a forward looking and progressive person would leave no stone unturned in his determined pursuit to uplift and build on the legacies of his predecessors".
