In his welcome address to the matriculating students he urged the matriculants to be law abiding in the school, noting that they were lucky to be among the 1,522 students that made the merit list, out of 2000 that sat for the school’s entrance examinations.
“Those of you who are matriculating today should have course to celebrate and to thank God because out of 2000 students that sat for the college entrance examinations, you were among the few that made the admission list on merit,” he said.
He further charged the students to feel free to seek for clarification and guidance in their academic pursuit, stating that relevant staff of the school are mandated to render necessary assistance to them.
“The current college administration is student friendly. Therefore, be at ease to approach any academic or non academic staff for clarification and available support services at their disposal.
