Staff of College of Education Lafiagi Protest Over Years of Neglect
By Joseph Iyaji | Akahi News
Staff of the College of Education (Technical), Lafiagi, in Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State, staged a protest on Wednesday, expressing frustration over the deteriorating condition of the institution. The demonstrators blamed the decline on the absence of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) interventions since 2019.
SaharaReporters, which monitored the demonstration via a live broadcast on NupekoTV, a Kwara-based media outlet, reported that staff members carried placards and chanted solidarity songs at the college entrance. The protesters called for urgent attention to the college’s infrastructure, teaching facilities, and overall welfare of staff and students.
The protest reflects growing concerns among educational staff across Nigeria over inadequate funding and neglect of tertiary institutions, raising questions about government oversight and the effectiveness of intervention programmes like TETFUND.
