It is a testament to your justice driven and inclusive administrative style under the Shared Prosperity agenda.
“Furthermore, the remarkable infrastructural transformation witnessed within our campus; ranging from improved facilities to enhanced learning environments, bears eloquent testimony to your commitment to qualitative education.
“These developments have not only beautified our institution but have significantly enhanced teaching, research, and community engagement.
“We also recall with sincere appreciation that it was through your purposeful support and political will that the 2024 NCE accreditation exercise was successfully accomplished. That achievement safeguarded our academic programmes and strengthened our institutional credibility.
