This is contained in a statement signed on Tuesday by Muhammad Bello, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Governor.
The statement added that the governor said having received the recommendation of the committee and heard from several stakeholders and leaders in the state on the need for the college to reopen, his administration will look into the possibility of doing so.
He directed the Governing Council of the SSCOE to convene a meeting with a view to reopening the college soonest.
