FCE Pankshin is set to become a university.

President Muhammadu Buhari has signed a bill seeking to elevate the Federal College of Education in Pankshin, Plateau state, to the status of a university of education. Rt. Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, Member of Parliament for Pankshin, Kanam, Kanke Federal Constituency, sponsored the bill.

In a statement published on Thursday, February 3, Plateau state governor Solomon Lalung praised the President for approving the bill, saying it reaffirms the state’s position as a hub of learning in the North Central, and indeed the entire country.

Additionally, the governor expressed hope that the establishment of the University would help address the country’s scarcity of well-trained instructors.
