By -
(Nigeria) Provost, College of Education, Mosogar, Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State, Prof. Emmanuel Ojeme,  has called on the state and federal governments to upgrade Colleges of Education to university standard across the country.
Ojeme made the call while receiving the Chairman of the institution’s Governing Council, Lovette Idisi and his members and the confirmation of the new Deputy Provost, Dr. Moses Omoyile after due consultation and long deliberation at the maiden meeting of the council.
Ojeme who received the Chairman of the Board, Lovette Idisi and his members on behalf of the Governing Council, appealed to government and interventionist agencies to assist the college on developmental projects to give the institution a facelift to compete with other institutions.
He noted that Nation Certificate of Certificate, NCE, obtained from Colleges of Education was gradually losing its value, adding that students no longer want to attend colleges of education but university to boost their educational career.
Briefing the school Governing Council and the Chairman of the Board, he said, "The attitude of students towards gaining admission into universities is the major cause for concern as the number of students in the colleges of education is dropping. This is why we are calling on government to raise the standards of colleges of education to that of universities.
"It was for this reason that the college is running a degree programme in both Delta State University, Abraka and University of Benin, Edo State and the institution is also facing challenges of power supply and issues concerning security, hence, we are appealing to the chairman to use his position to assist the school."
Idisi who commended the provost for his efforts, promised to assist in moving the school to an enviable height as he charged the management to continue to contribute their best towards the uplift meant of the school.
He charged the new Deputy Provost to use his experience and cooperate with the provost  to move the school forward, advising other management staff of the school to ensure that all hands are on deck for the development of the institution.

Ruling on originating motions marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1386/2021, instituted by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda against the NBC - as sole respondent in the suit, Justice James Omotosho, also set aside the N500, 000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations.
