Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum has approved the use of a Government Secondary School as a temporary site for the take-off of the new Federal College of Education (FCE) in Gwoza.
The site is at Vile, a community in Gwoza town, Headquarters of Gwoza Local Government Area.
The new school is the first of its kind, a Federal Government College of Education, in Borno since the state was established in 1976. Most of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) each have a federal University, federal polytechnic and federal college of education. Borno had been without a federal polytechnic and federal college of education until they were established by the Buhari administration.
