The Federal College of
Education (Technical), Akoka in Lagos state has matriculated 794 students to
run Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) programmes for the 2018/2019
academic session.
The students were
admitted into different schools and departments including school of science
education, school of education, school of technical education, school of
vocational education and school of business education.
After taking the
matriculation oath, the acting provost of the College, Mr. Ephraim O. Dada
advised the new intake to attend lectures regularly and reciprocate the good
gesture of the College by working diligently to contribute their quota to the
development of Nigeria.
He also implored them to
engage themselves in sporting activities either for leisure or good mental
health development.
While he admonished them
to join clubs and groups registered with the Students’ Affairs Unit, he warned
them against secret societies and cultism.
“As students, you are
expected to exhibit disciplined, loyal and honest character at all times during
your stay in the college. Energy wasted in pursuit of unlawful gains or
destructive union activities is tantamount to misplaced priorities and
contribute to lowering of standards of education,” Dada said.
He urged the students to
refrain from unsavoury acts such as examination malpractice, certificate
forgery, illicit drug dealing, fighting, theft and rape, among others.
Earlier, the president
of Students’ Union Government (SUG) of the college, Comrade Olajide
Abdul-Hameed charged the new students to never allow anyone take advantage of
them, particularly the female students. He advised them to take their academics
seriously.
