The Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, Hon. Hauwawu T. Aduku has expressed satisfaction with the ongoing reforms and transformation at the College of Education ably led by Dr. Paul Femi Fashagba as Provost.
Hon. Aduku during a courtesy visit to the Provost and his management team showered encomiums on the Provost for providing purposeful leadership for an effective atmosphere for teaching and learning.
Accompanied by Hon. Shaik Sani Musa, the Special Senior Assistant to the Governor on Ethics and Values, said the Provost has in the last three months repositioned the College.
“This visit, though official, became a memorable moment of reflection and admiration, especially witnessing firsthand the transformational leadership being demonstrated by the newly appointed Provost, Dr. Fashagba Femi Paul. Within a remarkably short period of just three months, your bold steps, calm wisdom, and progressive vision have already repositioned the institution as one on the path of excellence.
“Dr. Fashagba, your unwavering commitment to discipline, academic growth, staff welfare, and infrastructural revival is a shining example of result-oriented leadership. The testimonies of joy and renewed energy we heard from staff and students alike spoke volumes of your impact. Walking through the premises, the positive change was not just visible, it was alive.
“You have shown us that transformational leadership is not about occupying an office, but about leaving footprints that inspire hope and progress. Your humility, accessibility, and inclusive approach to governance have earned you admiration not only within the college community but throughout Kogi State.
“Furthermore, I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the entire management team of the College for their teamwork and dedication. It is clear that the progress being witnessed today is the result of a united front, bound by a shared commitment to excellence.
“I must especially recognize the Acting Registrar, Dr. (Mrs.) C.J. Ezeoru, whose administrative strength and motherly wisdom have been pivotal in keeping the engine of the institution running smoothly. Her loyalty, discipline, and focus have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for standing firm and supporting the Provost in delivering a new era of academic integrity and structure.
Speaking further, “To all members of staff and the students who expressed satisfaction with the new direction of leadership, thank you for your cooperation. Governance is only effective when the people support the vision, and your collective commitment is what is making the difference.”
“As the APC Women Leader in Kogi State, and on behalf of the women’s wing of our great party, I want to affirm our full support for the ongoing reforms and development strides under your watch. We will continue to pray and advocate for institutions like this to thrive under transparent, ethical, and people-centered leadership.
Responding, Dr. Fashagba expressed appreciation to the APC Women Leader for the encomiums and promised not to disappoint the trust of the Governor.
