The management of the Federal College of Education , Okene, Kogi state, has said the school closed six weeks ago due to power outage over a faulty 2.5MVA power transformer.
According to a statement from the school at the weekend, the damaged transformer has served for over 20 years and had become problematic for many months. “We need the electricity supply to run the entire school: lighting, pump water to the hostels, for the offices, the libraries, among others. The cost of running a diesel generator all day to power the school is enormous at this time,” the management noted in the statement.
Some of the graduating students also called on the Minister of Education and President Muhammadu Buhari to prevail on the relevant quarters to replace the transformer as they would not want to miss the scheduled mobilisation for the National Youth Service Corps .
