The Federal Government has shut down the Federal College of Education, Technical, Akoka, Lagos, indefinitely over the lingering leadership crisis that has rocked the institution for over two months.
The decision to close the school came from the Federal Ministry of Education, which has not been able to resolve the protracted issue.
It was gathered that yesterday’s violence that led to the destruction of properties and some official vehicles, was the last straw, as even members of the Governing Council escaped being manhandled narrowly.
The embattled Provost, Dr WAHAB AZEEZ, also had his official quarters vandalised by angry students.
Members of the Governing Council, led by the Chairman, Dr ADENUGA OLATUNDE, who were to hold another round of meeting with aggrieved parties, could not do so because students and workers, teaching and non-teaching, insisted that he should not step into the campus.
Meanwhile, Police authorities in Lagos State have arrested thirty-two persons over the violent attacks.
