Descriptions

The Federal College of Education, Obudu was established as a regular College on November 30, 1982 by the first Executive President of Nigeria, His Excellency, Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari. At inception, the College operated in a temporary site within the premises of Government Secondary School, Obudu. Today, however, that initial temporary site is now the permanent site while the then proposed permanent site of the College at the Bebi village in Obanliku Local Government Area, eighteen kilometres on the Obudu- Cattle Ranch Resort road has become a satellite campus. It is important to state that the College initially was being run as an affiliate of the University of Calabar. However, with the Decree No 4 that was promulgated on 16th March, l986, the College, along with other sister Federal Colleges of Education in Nigeria was granted an autonomous status. On 31st August, l990, the first Governing Council of the College was inaugurated. Since then, five other Governing Councils that comprised of eminent Nigerians from all walks of life were also appointed., Today, it is the 6th Governing Council under the Chairmanship of Honorable Sir Anthony Obi that is in place. Together, the Councils have always synergized with College administration to re-position the institution. The NCE Programme stretches its academic disciplines and research across seven (7) schools and twenty-nine (29) academic departments. The college runs both regular and sandwich NCE programme for students in various disciplines.
