The governor has since appointed the college’s Deputy Provost, Dr. Ahmed Jimoh Ayinla as the acting Provost.
He did not give any reason for removing the provost.
He however backed up his action, stating that he did it in exercise of his powers as the Visitor to the college.
A letter to the Acting Provost, Ayinla by the Registrar/ Secretary of the college, Mr. A. A. Ibrahim reads: “Following the removal of the Provost of College of Education Ilorin by His Excellency the Governor of Kwara State, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, I am directed to inform you by the Governing Council of the College that you have been appointed as the Acting Provost of the College with immediate effect pending the appointment of a substantive Provost for the College.
“You are to take over from the former Provost with total control of the college. Congratulations and best wishes.”
