Zulum who has similarly facilitated the take off of a Federal Polytechnic sited in Monguno town, Monguno LGA of the state before doing same for the Federal College of Education in Vile, Gwoza.
The governor during his trip to Gwoza on Saturday, gave a directive for the immediate rehabilitation of the GSS Vile to serve as the temporary site of the Federal College of Education to commence operations.
It would be recalled also that Zulum’s administration is known for complementing the efforts of the Federal Government through provision of facilities as necessary requirements for the take off of federal institutions to function effectively in Borno State.
