The National Commission for Colleges of Education says it would begin to clamp down on existing illegal colleges of education across the country.
The Executive Secretary of the Commission, Prof. Paulinus Okwelle, made this disclosure in Abuja during the National Summit themed, ‘Nigeria Certificate in Education: The Way Forward’.
According to Okwelle, despite adequate human and material resources, the decreasing turnout of students was contributory to the low capacity delivery experienced in the colleges of education.
“In the course of carrying out our regulatory and monitoring functions, we encounter challenges of the proliferation of illegal colleges of education and study centres around the country.
“This problem was discussed at the last meeting of the National Council on Education in Jalingo sequel to which we embarked on a special verification exercise,” Okwelle stated.
He explained further that the exercise was to pinpoint and ultimately shut down extant illegal colleges and the NCE study centres in the country.
“At the end of the exercise, we discovered the existence of some illegal institutions and study centres spread across the country.
