Adeyemi College Of Education, Three Others Become Universities.

By -
The Federal Executive Council on
Wednesday approved the conversion of four
federal colleges of education to
universities.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the
council presided over by President
Goodluck Jonathan.
The Minister of Information, Patricia
Akwashiki and Minister of Education,
Ibrahim Shekarau, briefed State House
correspondents of the meeting’s outcome.
Shekarau listed the affected colleges of
education to include Adeyemi College of
Education, Ondo (now Adeyemi
University of Education, Ondo); Federal
College of Education, Zaria (now Federal
University of Education, Zaria); Federal
College of Education, Kano (now Federal
University of Education, Kano); and Alvan
Ikoku College of Education, Owerri (now
Alvan Ikoku University of Education,
Owerri).
The minister explained that the colleges of
education are part of the 21 federal colleges
of education that had been awarding
degree programmes in the last three
decades under the close supervision of the
different universities they had been
affiliated to.
He said the council considered the need for
further quality in the teaching profession,
hence the conversion of the colleges to
universities since more graduates would be
needed as teachers.
“We are heading to having more graduates
in the teaching profession and hence the
need for these universities to produce
graduates in education. If we need quality
education, we need quality teachers,” he
said.
Shekarau explained that the next step was
for the Ministry of Justice to prepare
amendment to the laws establishing the
colleges.
This, he explained, would be followed by
some administrative changes.
The minister also said the council had
approved the establishment of the Federal
University of Health Sciences in Otukpo,
Benue State.
Until the approval, the university is said to
be the College of Medical Health Sciences
under the Federal University of
Agriculture, Makurdi.
He said the institution had now been
granted autonomy as part of continuous
efforts to ensure production of quality
graduates into the various fields of
medicine and sciences.

How to get him to pay your bills (ladies crib)

Hello ladies  it's your turn tonight. And thanks alot feel so good to have 9000+ view. Thanks to u guys 1. Don’t  have  any bills. If you’re deep in financial debt in this economy, and you meet a man who also has financial responsibilities, the likelihood that he will want to pay your bills is very slim. Single men have bills also, even if they don’t have children. The only single men without bills are most likely living in their parent’s basement or still sleeping in the room they grew up in. That man can’t pay anyone’s bills or he’d have his own house. And let’s be honest, if you were already dating the wealthiest caliber of men to begin with, you wouldn’t be looking for a man to pay your bills in the first place. 2. Don’t  ask  a man to pay your bills. Men look at women who ask for them to pay their bills as  gold diggers . And that’s me being nice. Men actually call women who ask them to pay their bills  garden tools . Here’s the thing, if you have something you can
