The Oyo State Government has ordered the immediate closure of Oke-Ogun College of Management Sciences and Technology, Iseyin.
The State Commissioner of Education, Science and Technology, Barrister Rahman Abiodun Abdu-Raheem, who gave the order today, March 1, said that the institution was shut down for non-compliance with registration procedures.
He said that the closure was preceded by a petition from some indigenes of the State, under the auspices of ‘Ebedi Frontliner’, complaining that the institution was neither registered nor accredited for students’ enrolment among other allegations.
Barrister Abdu-Raheem advised the Proprietors of the College to always do the needful, adding that this will avoid unnecessary embarrassment to them and the state government.
Barrister Abdu-Raheem had last month, invited and directed the Proprietor of the College, Mr. Adewale Owoseni to remove all billboards with the inscriptions of the school, until the needful is done.
The Commissioner stressed the determination of the State Government to ensure that due process is followed in all affairs of the state.
