FCE Gombe Dismisses Registrar, Librarian, 2 Others

Governing Council of the Federal College of Education (Technical), Gombe has dismissed four senior officers of the institution, including the registrar and librarian over alleged gross misconduct.

Those affected by the decision are the registrar, Alhaji Umar Muhammad Bello; the librarian, Yusuf Shehu Aliyu; the director of Works and Services, Muhammad Ibrahim Malam; and Ibrahim Shehu, an internal member of the Governing Council representing the Non-Teaching Staff Congregation.

According to a statement by the acting director, Public Relations and Protocol, yesterday, the dismissals were ratified at the 7th meeting of the Governing Council, held on 31 January 2026 at the headquarters of the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) in Abuja.

Gurama added that the decision followed earlier suspensions of the officers and was based on the outcomes of two separate investigations.

“The dismissals followed earlier suspensions and were based on the findings and recommendations of a fact-finding committee set up by the Federal Ministry of Education, as well as the Governing Council’s Investigative committee, which indicted the officers on various counts of gross misconduct,” the statement read in part.

The Governing Council also approved the appointment of Mallam Haruna N. Ayuba, the senior Deputy Registrar, as Acting Registrar of the College.
