Provost of the Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin, Dr AbdulRaheem Yusuf, has asked the state government to upgrade the institution to University of Education.
Yusuf, who disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin on Friday, said the upgrading will ensure the school produce more qualified manpower for the nation.
He said that since the establishment of the institution in 1974, the school had produced good ambassadors representing the country in different areas of development.
“If we can upgrade the College into University of Education, the issue of subvention can be a secondary thing, as more students will enroll into the institution in order to obtain their degree certificate,” he said. “We are moving forward in terms of development of our staff and that of the students.”
“All our staff now are computer proficient and have undergone series of training, because there is need for upgrade,” the provost further explained.
