To this end,all students should resume back to school on Monday.
We appreciate the Governing Council Chairman, Olorogun Barr. Sunny Akpodiogaga Emeyese and the College Provost,Dr. Israel Imide for their swift action to address and allowed the school system not to be shutdown from academic activities.
All stakeholders of Delta State College of Education Mosogar should look critically into area of building more infrastructures and think towards the general development of the institution since we are behind among sister institutions established in thesame time with the College in the State.
