The Management of the Federal College of Education (FCE), Ofeme, Ohuhu, Umuahia, Abia State, has raised serious concern over reports of cult-related activities allegedly involving some youths from the Ofeme community using the college environment as a gathering ground.
According to a statement from the Office of the Provost, the institution strongly condemns cultism in all its forms, emphasizing that such activities are completely against the values, regulations, and academic mission of the college. The Management made it clear that the school premises must remain a safe and secure environment dedicated strictly to teaching, learning, and character development.
