Please permit me to welcome you wholeheartedly to this maiden press conference by the National President of the National Association of Nigerian Colleges of Education Students (NANCES).
Federal College of Education (tech) Potiskum is one of the prestigious college of education in Nigeria, it is located in the heart of Potiskum, Yobe state and it was established in 1988 with Dr.Abdu Bulama as the pioneer provost.
Federal College of Education Technical Potiskum ever since then have been witnessing tremendous development day in and day out and have been one of those colleges that have been producing quality teachers for the benefits of the teaming populance of Nigeria.
Dr. Madu Muhammad Yunusa became the acting Provost of the College on 24th June 2021 after the expiration of the tenure of the former provost who also did tremendously well towards the development of the college with the support and assistance of Dr. Yunusa who happened to be his Deputy Provost then and now the acting provost along other management staff the college.
Since his assumption to the office as the acting Provost of the college he prioritize the students welfare and also operate an open door policy where by the students enjoy one of the most management cum students friendly administration. With Dr. Yunusa on the mantle our students enjoy one of the most peaceful environment for teaching and learning. The National Association of the Nigerian colleges of Education after thoroughfull investigation had come to a conclusion that substantiating Dr. Yunusa as the provost of the above name college is just putting a square peg in a square hole or an act of giving the right job to the right person.
Here are some but few among his achievements within the little time on the mantle of leadership as the Acting provost.

10- Renovation and conversion of old Fecoet Demonstration Secondary School to 30 academic staff offices for the school of science.
It is in lieu of the above mention development, that the National Association of Nigeria Colleges of Education Students (NANCES) as the umbrella body of all students in Colleges of Education in Nigeria and a body that works asidiously with the interest of its members (the Students). The NANCES charter of demand had orchestrated the national executive and the legislative arms of the association to work in conformity with any situation that will foster to growth of our colleges of education while considering factors that will promote the welfare and well-being of our students, it’s because of that, we are committed and take a vow ourselves on paving ways to our students to continue enjoying a lasting peaceful and progressive colleges of education in Nigeria.
Base on that The body is now using this medium to call on President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, the Honourable Minister of Education, National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) and the Governing Council of Federal College of Education Technical Potiskum to please see it as matter of necessity to substantiate this man that possess the characteristics and qualities of a patriotic citizens who believes in the cost of service to humanity with the meager available resources, a man that achieve alots in a short period of time that is none but Dr. Yunusa, we urge on all the relevent stakeholders to take it, into cognisant a man who students and staff of the set college are singing his praises of achievements and good deeds since assumption to office as the acting Provost of the College, we want to stress that in as much as the Colleges are established because of the students and a peaceful atmosphere is all we required for effective teaching and learning.
Dr. yunusa is the right cap for FCET potiskum, Yobe state, who is currently the acting Provost, we believe if he was confirmed as the substantive Provost one can not imagine the level of development the college would record in few years that he will spend in the college as the provost.
In addition, we want to reiterate and categorically state that Dr. Yunusa is the general interest of the students of FCET Potiskum and National Executives of the National Association of Nigerian Colleges of Education Students (NANCES) in totality.
Equally it’s at this note we want to also appreciate the Executive Secretary of NCCE Prof. Paulinus for all his gain and strategic efforts for our Colleges to take their rightful places in the center of our national educational policy since his assumption as Executive Secretary and for that we want to affirm our loyalty while reassuring him of our continuous support and commitment towards the development and upliftment of our colleges of Education.
Further more we want to call on our students to be peaceful, law abiding as we have all the necessary backup of our relevant agencies and stakeholders who let their doors open and ready to listen and act on our greaviances, again I want to stress that NANCES under watch we will not take it lightly with any agency that would try to sideline or marginalise our colleges of education in any of the government education policy.
I close by appealing once again to all sand and sundry to please confirm Dr. Yunusa as the substantial Provost of the Federal college of education technical potiskum for the consolidation and continuity of his good work.
