He also added that the Federal Government, through the Minister of Education, met with the state governors over poor and or non-payment of salaries in states colleges of education.
He said that government had also agreed to release a white paper tagged: “Dual Mode’’ for partial implementation of degrees award by some colleges.
Ogirima said government also promised to recall sacked members of the Ogun State College of Education.
