Following the stepping down of the founder of Dowen College, Lagos, Dr. Olumide Phillips, among other board members, a key stakeholder of the school has revealed the reason for the development.

In a statement signed Thursday, January 27, 2022, by Tomi Borisade on behalf of the school, “The founding members of the Board of Governors including the Founder and Chairman of the Board, Dr. Olumide Phillips, who have worked tirelessly over the years to develop outstanding children both in and out of the school, have chosen to retire and pass the baton of change to a new generation of seasoned professionals who will run with the vision, leadership passion, commitment and values they have worked rigorously to establish.

“This will also enhance communication and effectiveness with the Parents Teachers Forum. Their good works cannot be allowed to go in vain and they are keen to ensure that.”

Reacting, a competent source in the school, who pleaded anonymity, told QUEST TIMES the decision was taken “to restructure the governance system of the school”.
