The Federal College of Education (FCE), Ididep, located in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, has announced its readiness to commence academic activities in September 2024.

This was disclosed by the Chairman of the Governing Council, Mr. Cletus Obun, during a meeting with stakeholders from the LGA on Monday.

Recall that the Federal Government approved the establishment of the College of Education last year, alongside other institutions and the Akwa Ibom State Government subsequently handed over the Certificate of Occupancy to the Federal Government.

Mr. Obun commended Senator Ita Enang for his efforts in attracting the project to Ibiono Ibom LGA, which will contribute to the overall growth and development of the area.

He noted that about 80% of the first batch of students admitted to the College will be indigenes, and 100% of junior staff will be drawn from the community.

Obun stated that students from the area will no longer need to travel to Uyo or other local governments or states to attend school, as the College will provide a local option.

He added that the institution will bring economic benefits to the community, with an influx of people and increased economic activities.

“The secondary schools here should empty themselves into the institution because we are going to take off along with Degree programmes.

“The community has so much to benefit. For us the first consideration for admission should be a standing policy, the indigenes first if possible 80% to encourage the community.

“Indeed when we take off by the second year, we are sure that our brightest students from first year should be earning a scholarship.

“We want to see backing from the federal government in terms of its institutions and Agencies from TETFUND, NDDC, the Federal Ministry of Education to National Council of Education.

“We want to see them fast track the processes and not allow bureaucracy to dim the light that is coming on and to reduce the speed which we are taking on because the community is ready,” Obun added.

The Provost of the school, Dr. Edem Ntuk, emphasized the importance of meeting with the community before commencing activities on campus.

He acknowledged some initial issues with the community but noted that they have been resolved, paving the way for the institution’s commencement.

Senator Enang praised President Tinubu for supporting the institution and the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, for constituting the governing council.
