Adeleke sets up committee to investigate ₦200m misuse at College of Education

The governor’s media aide, Malam Olawale Rasheed, announced the development on Tuesday, January 09, 2023, revealing that Adeleke has directed the committee to thoroughly examine the allegations and seek an amicable resolution to the crisis that has engulfed the educational institution.

The committee, comprising Kazeem Akinloye, Chief of Staff to the governor, Teslim Igbalaye, Secretary to the State Government, and Oluwole Adedipo, Commissioner for Education, has been tasked with investigating the conflicting claims made by the Provost of the college, Prof. Jimoh Afolabi, and the Chairman of its Governing Council, Dr Peter Babalola.

The two key figures in the institution have been engaged in a war of words, each accusing the other of mismanaging the ₦200 million funds earmarked for the college.
