Delivering his address at the occasion,  the commissioner emphasized the importance of practical training as a panacea to addressing basic industrial needs of the nation just as he enjoined the matriculants to be committed to their studies.

Meanwhile, Engr Anthony Okagbare rector of the school has assured of academic excellence and high level discipline among the undergraduates.
This is even as he has told the parents and guardians of the award of degrees for prospective graduates subject to the school’s understanding with  Paul University, Awka Anambra State for degree award.
