Lagos state set to upgrade MOCPED and AOCOED to universities

The Lagos State Government has said that it has concluded plans for the upgrade of the two-state-owned colleges of education, Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin and Sir Micheal Otedola College of Primary Education, Epe, to universities of education.

The Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor on Education, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, who made the disclosure during the second year anniversary of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in office, said the process for the upgrade has been approved by the state governor and the state executive council, and a formal announcement would be made soon by the governor.

According to Wahab, the upgrade became imperative following the cases of discrimination between the certificates issued by colleges of education and polytechnic which also affects the enrollment level into the institutions.
