St. Augustine College of Education has announced the unveiling of its new logo. This marks a significant step in the school’s commitment to a refreshed identity as well as continued academic excellence and innovation. The Acting Registrar, Mary Aipoh, stated this in a statement made available to The Catholic Herald weekly newspaper. She said, “As a way of further transforming, advertising and growing the College, the Management thought it wise to rebrand it. One of the steps towards achieving this goal is the redesigning of the College Logo to reflect the current status of the College and what it stands for. “It is on this note that I bring you good tidings from the Provost, Management, Staff and Students of our great citadel of learning as the Proprietor, His Grace, Most Rev. (Dr.) Alfred Adewale Martins has graciously approved the redesigning of the logo as well as a grand event to formally launch it to the public.”
St. Augustine College of Education was established in 1971 to meet the educational needs, morals and values of young people in Nigeria and the world at large. The College came into being during the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) under the Chairmanship of Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okojie, the then Archbishop of Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos. It became a joint project of the Nigeria Conference of Catholic Bishops and Christian Council of Nigeria for the sole aim of training teachers in Moral and Religious Education. It was then popularly known as Teacher’s Institute of Moral Education (PROJECT T.I.M.E).
At present, the College has grown for over a period of 50 years to offer other programmes such as Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) and B.Sc/ B.Ed Programmes in affiliation to University of Ibadan. The College also offers Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PDE), Diploma in Catechesis and Professional Diploma Certificate in Computer Science. The logo is scheduled to be unveiled on Friday, April 26, 2024 by 1p.m at the College premises, Yaba, Lagos. Most Rev. (Dr.) Alfred Adewale Martins, Proprietor is the Chief Host of the event while Rev. Fr. (Dr.) Vincent Olofinkua, Acting Provost is the Host.
