The announcement, contained in an official statement issued by the College’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Jibril Abdulrahaman, follows the conclusion of a rigorous selection process by the Council.
Born on June 30, 1968, Dr. Mosimabale hails from Ogori in the Ogori/Magongo Local Government Area of Kogi State. He brings over three decades of academic experience and institutional leadership to the role, with a career deeply rooted in education, administration, and professional service.

He later advanced his academic pursuit with a Master’s degree and a PhD in Social Studies from the University of Benin in 2008 and 2018, respectively.
A seasoned educator and administrator, Mosimabale currently serves on the institution’s Governing Council as an Academic Board representative and is the Director of Examinations. He is also a Chief Lecturer in the Department of Social Studies, where he has mentored countless students and contributed significantly to curriculum development.
Beyond his academic credentials, Dr. Mosimabale is an active member of several professional organisations.
