 Plateau Regeneration Group on Monday lauded  the pragmatic transformative visions and drive  of the  Provost of College of Education in Gindiri Plateau state   Prof Lazarus Maigoro. 


Deputy Chairman of the group Mr Chong   Pius, who spoke with our correspondent said that the transformation development  taking place in the institution was solely  due to the visions and pragmatic efforts of the young and energetic Provost Prof Maigoro. 


The group  described Prof.  Maigoro as a fine administrator, disciplinarian and quintessential leader of tremendous impact, not only to  the College of education Gindiri , but to Plateau and Nigeria as a whole.


"We also  commend the  Provost for his friendly disposition towards students   ,the administrative and non-teaching-staff of the institution. "


They lauded the Plateau state Governor Bar Caleb Mutfwang for appointing Prof Lazarus Maigoro as the Provost of the Institution . 


" Prof Maigoro is indeed a great man of purpose, vision, integrity, a great leader of all leaders and a blessing to many generations"


The  group said Prof Lazarus Maigoro on assumption of office  supervised the accreditation of courses in the College as well as conducted promotion exercise  for staffers of the College amongst others. 


We  much commend the Provost of the Institution for bring sanity to the college". 


From our findings  "On assumption of office" The major challenge the Provost  met on ground when he arrived the  Institution was the expired accreditation status of virtually almost all the programmes in the college."


"Prof  Maigoro immediately put in so many efforts and as we speak  about a 27 men/Women accreditation team came from the National Commission for Colleges of education,they came to the institution  from 14 to 19 April 2024 and did their job and as we speak they believe they were satisfied and  the institution  is waiting for the report of the exercise."


"The Provost also met a back log of staff promotions which he was able to tackle because being a unionist the Provost believe staff welfare is paramount and to the glory of God he has done that in fact   he had to chip in some of his own personal funds to make this happen 


Prof Maigoro is doing well  in improving security in the institution as since assumption of office, he has been able to provide security operatives   stationed in the premises to bolster security so that staff and students and can feel secure.


The  Provost Prof Maigoro has  always called for excellence among lecturers and students of the institution, in order to promote the education system of the institution   and  the  students are  in  support of him, he added.
