One Year On, FCE Akoka Visitation Panel Report Still Unreleased: What’s Behind the Delay?

Fresh questions arise over why the minister has not released the special visitation panel report into the long-running leadership tussle at the Federal College of Education (Technical), Akoka. The 10-member panel was set up in July 2025 to probe disputes over the provost’s tenure and other administrative issues. It submitted findings in September 2025 but remains unpublished. Sources say the crisis began with union challenges to tenure under the Federal Colleges of Education Act 2023. Multiple investigations cleared the provost but failed to resolve the stand-off. Students and staff protested, and earlier probes produced conflicting recommendations. Staff, alumni and governance experts now demand transparency. Court filings under the Freedom of Information Act aim to force publication of the panel’s report. Many believe clarity on the report’s status is crucial for due process and stronger governance in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions.
