Meet the new boss of Alvan Ikoku College of Education. A new boss has been appointed as chairman governing council of Alvan Ikoku College of Education. Hon. Abinye Alex-Hart was appointed recently  to head the activities of the institution. Hon. Alex-Hart was born on June 21, 1956, in Bonny, to the family of Late Pa. A.B.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), said the present government in the state was very myopic
