Hon. Ephraim Aluebhosele, Chairman of the Governing Council of Edo State College of Education, Igueben, has commended Governor Monday Okpebholo for his unwavering commitment to education, noting that his administration has positioned the college as a hub for teacher training and productivity enhancement.

With over three decades of experience spanning public service, private enterprise, and institutional governance, Aluebhosele highlighted the governor’s visionary leadership as pivotal to the college’s development. “Governor Okpebholo’s dedication to education is evident in his policies and investments, which ensure that Edo State College of Education, Igueben, produces highly skilled and innovative teachers,” he stated.

Under the governor’s stewardship, the college has seen significant improvements in infrastructure, academic programs, and faculty development—initiatives that align with global best practices in teacher education. These efforts, Aluebhosele emphasized, are creating an environment where educators can excel professionally and contribute meaningfully to the state’s educational and socio-economic growth.

The institution has witnessed a remarkable turnaround, moving from almost zero student enrollment over the past three years to an impressive 88% enrollment within just four months of Hon. Aluebhosele assuming office as Chairman of the Governing Council. This achievement, he attributed, is largely due to Governor Okpebholo’s prompt and strategic intervention, which has been instrumental in resuscitating the college and restoring it to its lost glory.

Aluebhosele emphasized that this rapid growth reflects the governor’s hands-on approach to educational transformation, ensuring that resources, infrastructure, and institutional support are effectively aligned to meet the needs of both students and faculty. “The resurgence of the college is a testament to Governor Okpebholo’s commitment to turning challenges into opportunities for growth, making Edo State College of Education, Igueben, a beacon of hope and excellence in teacher education,” he noted.

Educational stakeholders continue to recognize Edo State as a model for strategic investment in human capital. The collaboration between visionary governance and competent institutional leadership, as exemplified by Governor Okpebholo and Hon. Aluebhosele, positions the Edo State College of Education, Igueben, as a benchmark for excellence in teacher education nationwide.

Governor Okpebholo’s passion for education, paired with Aluebhosele’s guidance at the college, underscores a broader vision: empowering educators to transform Edo State into a center of educational innovation and professional excellence. The surge in enrollment, coupled with ongoing investments in academic programs and faculty development, has not only strengthened the college’s reputation but has also positioned it as a leading center for teacher training in the region, demonstrating the profound impact of strategic leadership and visionary governance.
