10/05/2026

Congratulations to all NCE students nationwide on the approval and implementation of the Continuous Five (5)-Year NCE–Degree Programme by the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE).

According to the ministerial directives issued by the NCCE on 5th May, 2026, all Colleges of Education operating the Dual Mandate programme are to commence full implementation of the new structure from the 2026/2027 academic session. This new system provides a smooth academic pathway of 3 years for the Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) and an additional 2 years degree programme for eligible NCE graduates.

This means that students who successfully complete their NCE programme will now have the opportunity to proceed directly into the degree programme at 300 Level within the same academic structure, making the process easier, faster, and more coordinated.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening the value of the NCE qualification as the minimum teaching standard while also creating a seamless transition to Bachelor’s degree certification within Colleges of Education.

We sincerely appreciate the Federal Ministry of Education and the NCCE for this remarkable development which will greatly benefit students and the education sector nationwide.

Congratulations once again to all NCE students, aspirants, and stakeholders across Nigeria. Greater opportunities are ahead.

*PRESS RELEASE*:Placement of Anti-Snake and Insecticide Round the Hostel.

In a proactive effort to ensure a safer and healthier living environment for students, the Dean of Students’ Affairs of the Federal College of Education, Okene, in collaboration with the (SUG) President and other student leaders, carried out a comprehensive sanitation and safety exercise across the hostel environment.

The exercise involved the application of anti-snake substances and insecticides around hostel blocks, walkways, and surrounding bushes within the student residential areas. The initiative was organized as part of ongoing efforts to protect students from harmful insects and reptiles especially during the rainy season.

The SUG President commended the management for responding promptly to students’ safety concerns and encouraged hostel residents to maintain cleanliness within and around their hostels.

*PRESS RELEASE* : *AMEBOR CENTER!*
*(Amebor Center) Pavilion is Getting a Makeover*

The SUG 2025/2026 team has kicked off the renovation of the pavilion (Amebor Center), giving it a much needed upgrade to match the college’s standard. It’s not just about fresh paint either. They’re calling it the first of several changes coming before their time in office wraps up.

“And this is only the beginning,” a SUG representative said. “We’re committed to delivering projects and policies that directly improve student life while we’re here.”

They’ve already started delivering on that promise. Students were allowed to pay fees in installments instead of all at once, and the ban on cooking gas in hostels has finally been lifted. Small wins, but they make campus life a whole lot easier.

If this is just the opening act, it’ll be interesting to see what else they roll out for students in the months ahead.
