Some workers in the Federal College of Education, Technical, Akoka, Lagos on Monday protested the continued stay in office of the Provost, Dr Wahab Ademola Azeez.

The workers, operating under the aegis of the Joint Action Committee, comprising academic and non-academic staff, opined that Azeez’s tenure lapsed on Sunday and should not continue in office.

Azeez was first appointed provost for a four-year tenure in May 2019 and got his tenure renewed for another four years in May 2923. The bone of contention now is the interpretation of the Federal Colleges of Education Act, 2023, particularly in relation to the tenure of Provosts. In a reply issued by the Ministry’s Legal Unit on May 23, 2024, they said the amended Act stipulates a single, non-renewable five-year term for Provosts of Federal Colleges of Education.
