Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq has approved the transmutation of the College of Education, Ilorin, into the University of Education.

The move, according to the governor, is to ease the take-off and other logistic advantages of the new education varsity.

“The government will continue ongoing efforts to transform the two other colleges and make them more viable in line with current realities’, a statement from the Government House said.

The decision comes a few days after the governor assented to the Kwara State University Teaching Hospital (Establishment) and Kwara State University of Education (Establishment) Bills, effectively birthing a teaching hospital and the University of Education.

The signing held at the Government House in Ilorin, in the presence of Speaker of the House of Assembly Yakubu Salihu; Majority Leader AbdulKadir Magaji; Clerk of the House AbdulKareem Ahmed; and a member of the Committee on the Establishment of the Kwara State University of Education/Special Adviser (Special Duties) Abdulrazaq Jiddah.
