History
The Federal College of Education, Kontagora was established in 1978.[1]
The geopolitical zone of Nigeria's Niger State is home to the Federal College of Education (FCE) Kontagora. During the military regime of General Olusegun Obasnjo (GCFR), the college was founded in September 1978 as the Federal Advanced Teacher College (FATC). This is in accordance with the recommendations made in the 1970 Sir Eric Ashby report, which was followed by the major act's promulgation, which is known as Federal College of Education decree no. 4 of 1986 and its amendments in decree no. 6 of 1993.
First connected to the University of Ilorin, the college gained independence in 1987 and fell under the direction of the National Commission for College of Education (NCCE). Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) teacher preparation is one of the goals of the Federal College of Education, Kontagora, among other institutions.[4]
