The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Fayemi had, last year, signed into law the bill backing the upgrade of the College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti to University of Education, Science and Technology.

The college, formerly known as Ondo State College of Education, was established on Dec. 5, 1977.

The governor had said that the upgrading of the institution was in realisation of his administration’s commitment to promoting knowledge-based economy in the state.

“I have no doubt that the new legislation I am about to sign will enhance our restoration agenda and make favourable impact in the lives of our people,” he said.
