Historical Background
The association was formed by
concerned staff of the Federal College of Education, Okene in the year 2022. It
started with the name Patriotic Staff Association of Federal College of
Education, Okene. It was formed with the aim to assist identified indigent
students in the college by provision of financial assistance in their areas of
needs. However, in the year 2023/2024, the college began to experience a very
acute dearth of new intake (100level) students’ admission.
Admission unit of the college carried
out an independent survey in June 2024 to find out the cause of the apparent
dwindling student enrolment in the college and the result shows that it is
caused by the current abject poverty that is faced with the people in our
communities. This becomes a matter of serious concern to all staff in the
college.
Consequent upon this, the name of the
association was changed to All Staff Association of Federal College of
Education, Okene with the aim of finding solution to the problem of financial
resources for the indigent students on the following basis as enshrined in the
Association’s constitution:
