Governor Ademola Adeleke has denied rumours and insinuations that his administration has approved a new satellite campus of the state College of Technology, Esa Oke at Ibokun.

In a statement by the Spokesperson to the State Governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the report of a new satellite campus at Ibokun was described as untrue.

He said In the statement issued on Tuesday: “I am directed to confirm to the good people of Esa Oke that no such approval was given by Mr Governor. The status quo ante remains.

“At no point in time has the Governor approved such a plan. The public should regard the report as the handiwork of mischief makers and failed attempt to disrupt the peace of that growing academic community.

“Mr Governor called on the youth and elders of Esa Oke to maintain peace and avoid incitement to violence.”
