Upgrade of college will aid employability of graduates – Obaseki
Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has said the revamping of the Edo State College of Education will enhance the employability of its graduates globally.
Representative of the governor and Chief of Staff to the Edo State Governor, Mr Osaigbovo Iyoha, said this during a courtesy visit by the members of the Students Union Government of the Edo State College of Education, Igueben Campus, at the Government House in Benin City.
He said the decision by the government to revamp the College of Education would benefit the students, adding that the college would be able to compete favourably with other world-class institutions across the globe.
He noted, “The revamping and total overhauling of the institution is to make it world-class and ensure that graduates from the college are employable.
“The decision to revamp the college is not to witch hunt or punish anyone, as the state government is not sacking anybody but repositioning the institution, and make the graduates employable. Any lecturer that will remain in the system must have all it takes to impact knowledge on the students and bring out the best in them.”
