“For over three months, staff of the Federal College of Education (Technical), Akoka locked out their Provost, depriving him of use of his office,” he said in a post on his X handle late Monday.
“A team set up by the Minister of Education arrived at the school today to mediate the ongoing impasse. However, staff of the college aided by students attacked the team from Abuja, damaging over five vehicles and the Provost’s official quarters.
