The Governing Council of the Federal College of Education (Technical), Gombe, has approved the dismissal of four senior officers of the institution over alleged gross misconduct.
Those dismissed include the Registrar, Alhaji Umar Bello; the College Librarian, Yusuf Aliyu; the Director of Works and Services, Muhammad Malam; and Ibrahim Shehu, an internal member of the Governing Council representing the Non-Teaching Staff Congregation.
The decision was taken at the council’s seventh meeting held on Jan. 31, 2026, at the headquarters of the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) in Abuja.
This is contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Acting Director, Public Relations and Protocol of the college, Dahiru Gurama.
According to the statement, the dismissals followed earlier suspensions of the affected officers and were based on the findings and recommendations of investigative panels.

The council explained that the action was taken in line with due process and its commitment to accountability in the administration of the institution.
Meanwhile, the council approved the appointment of Mallam Haruna N. Ayuba, the most senior Deputy Registrar, as Acting Registrar to ensure administrative continuity.
The Provost of the college, Prof. Ali Adamu, reaffirmed the management’s commitment to transparency, discipline and institutional integrity in line with federal regulations governing tertiary institutions.
