College Of Education Students’ Shut Down School In Protest (Photos)

Students protest rocked the Federal College of Education, (Technical), Gombe State on Friday over lack of water in the campus.

The students of the institution were agitating against the attitude of the provost, Dr. Gimba Abbas.

While reacting, the provost said: “about 5:30am, the acting provost called to inform that the students were on rampage and had become destructive.

“Because after leaving he Registrar’s house last night, they went to the staff quarters; and did a lot of damages. I learnt also that yesterday night, they vandalised the newly renovated lecture delivery centre.

“From the look of things, the problems of rally died there when I said no way we will allow them do rally in the College because their Shi’ite brothers could come from outside and invade the college; and who knows what will happen?
“But this morning when I went to address the students, they were saying no water, no electricity and even that even our internet facility was not good. And to this I will say no.
“The College is closed down because of the crises and it is based on the directives from the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Commission for Colleges of Education,” he added
