Gov. Abdulrazaq Urged to Establish Governing Council for Kwara State College of Education, Technical in Lafiagi

The Lafiagi Descendants Development Union (LADDU) has raised an urgent concern regarding the Kwara State College of Education, Technical, Lafiagi (COETL), which has been operating without a duly constituted Governing Council. This absence is reportedly hindering the institution's administrative direction and its capacity for development.

In an open letter to His Excellency, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, Governor of Kwara State, the union emphasized that the lack of a Governing Council has led to significant challenges, including a deficit in strategic decision-making necessary for implementing reforms and advancing key projects at COETL. This situation is detrimental not only to the college’s growth but also to the welfare of the surrounding community.

The union believes that a well-structured council would enable COETL to fulfill its potential as a leading center for technical education in the region.
