He further appreciated College contractors who had been part of the College in ensuring its progress saying that the FCE Abeokuta had always adhered to rules and regulations of the Tenders and would not down play transparent operations.

He therefore assured that everything would be diligently and transparently done in line with due process and the Procurement Act.

The Head of Procurement, Engr M.K Oyetoran thereafter gave the criteria for eligibility and responsiveness to the tender, the key to the Tenders Box was then handed over to the Registrar, Dr G.A Adebayo by the Provost for sorting of each Contractor’s bid.

The Professional bodies and Contractors while giving remarks applauded the College for maintaining transparency in the discharge of its duties and affirmed that Federal College of Education Abeokuta had been second to none and therefore implored the College to keep up the good work.
