may 1980 and renamed college of education Benin City.
An enabling law knows as “the college of education, Benin City law 1981” was
enacted with effect from 2nd October 1979. The law was revised in
1984. The college moved to its permanent site (132 hectares) at Ekiadolor about
25 kilometers from Benin, April 1986. It operates the semester system and
courses offered are in line with the guide lines of the national commissioner
for colleges of education (NCE). The college has a governing council appointed
by government to oversee its affairs. The first provost of the college was rev,
Fr. Theophilus Ewaen Uwaifo. He was the provost from 1879 to 1989. Dr J.O. Afe
took over from him in 1990 and left in 1997. Prof Raymond Osemwegie Elaho took
over in 1998 sole administrator and later become acting provost in 1998. He was
appointed the abstractive provost of the college in 1999 and re-appointed for a
second term in 2005. The provost is responsible for the running of the college;
other principal officers, deans of schools and the dean of students assist him.
The schools are headed by deans while the programmes are headed by head of
department. Apart from direct admission into pre-NCE programmes and part-time
NCE (primary weekend programmes).
Today the school has improved considerable and the population has rises to
about seven thousand or more under the administration of the provost Prof R.O
