The Governing Council of the Federal College of Education, Technical (FCET), Akoka, Lagos, has appointed Dr. Isaac Oluwatin Miller as the Acting Provost of the College.
This decision was announced in a notice signed by Mr. Rasheed Dada, the Registrar of the College, on behalf of the Governing Council.
The notice directed Dr. Wahab Azeez, the former Provost, to step aside.
Dr. Azeez had been embroiled in a conflict with a section of the staff unions of the College since May 27, 2024.
