The Federal College of Education, FCE (Technical), Akoka, Lagos, has said that the reported installation of Closed-circuit television (CCTV) Camera in the female hostel of the institution, published by a daily newspaper is not true.
Dr Wahab Azeez, Provost of the institution, told a press conference on Friday that the report was a damaging publication and unprofessional in all ramifications.
He said the reportage was not true, but rather acknowledged that some students protested on Friday, March 5, 2021, over the eviction of illegal female occupants from the Independent Hall.
“So we are using this forum to correct this impression and other misrepresentation of our College circulated around by Thursday which some News media copied from them and published.
According to him, the purported installation of cameras is still ongoing in public places of the College and not in the female hostel to deny our cherished female students their privacy.
The Provost emphasised that the College would not allow any criminal and indecent behaviour among the management staff, academic and non-academic staff and students.
He noted that the CCTV came about as a result of attacks of students in the night, especially female students, adding that the publication was not only damaging to the image of the College but malicious.
