The Oyo State Government, on Tuesday, has ordered the immediate closure of Oke-Ogun College of Management Sciences and Technology, Iseyin for non-compliance with registration procedures.
.Penpushing reports that the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology , Barrister Rahman Abdu-Raheem made this known, explaining that some indigenes of the town, under the auspices of ‘Ebedi Frontliner’, had petitioned the Oyo state government; the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu; and the National Board for Technical Education, asserting that the institution was neither registered nor accredited for students’ enrolment among other allegations.
The Commissioner, while sealing off the college, urged Proprietors of schools in the state to always do the needful in their quests to establish schools, saying that this will avoid unnecessary embarrassment for both the state and the proprietors.
Penpushing also reports that the Commissioner had earlier last month, invited and directed the Proprietor of the College, Mr. Adewale Owoseni to remove all billboards with the inscriptions of the school, until the needful is done.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner therefore affirmed the State Government’s commitment to ensure due process is followed in all affairs of the state.
