• The provision of free internet service comes as another feather to the Professor Onibon’s cap, who has recorded remarkable accomplishments since assuming office in 2017.
• Students of the institution have lauded the development, saying learning and research would be significantly aided.

Professor Nosiru Onibon, provost of Michael Otedola College of Primary Education (MOCPED) located in Noforija in the Epe area of Lagos has recorded yet another meritorious stride by providing free internet access on campus for students.

As gathered by EKO HOT BLOG, the development is viewed as another win for the MOCPED Provost, who according to Tunde Ogunpe, a member of institution’s student union body, has recorded remarkable accomplishments since becoming head of the college in 2017.

“That is the case of the provost of the college. He is forthright in his approach and dealings within the college premises,” Ogunpe said.

“The institution has witnessed tremendous development and improvement since the inception of Onibon as the provost of the college in 2017 to 2018.

“Lots of structural buildings has been erected in the college and other interventions and laudable programs have taken place.”

Bisi Adekoya, a student of the institution, while reacting to the development said learning and research will be made easier with the free internet on campus.

“There won’t be any basis for students to spend much time in the cyber cafe, the free internet will help in our research work online,’’ she said.

Another student by the name Yomi Samuel advised the school authority to monitor the internet service to avoid abuse by unscrupulous elements who might pounce on the opportunity to perpetrate cyber crimes.

“The management should censor and regulate its usage,” he said.

MOCPED, previously called the Lagos State College of Primary Education was established in 1994 and rebranded under the current name in 2007.

The institution is affiliated with the premier university in Nigeria, University of Ibadan (UI), and also Ekiti State University (EKSU).
