The rally, led by the Waziri himself was organised by islahudeen Arabic schools in early hours of Tuesday, 14th January, 2020 with placard saying, “Iwo deserves the Federal College
According to him, “Iwo hasn’t benefited any tertiary institution, be it federal or state since time immemorial. How can one of the largest city in Nigeria be left alone like this? Urgent help is needed.”
