Dr. Basilia Igbokwe

“…That is why in my 100 days in office, I ensured that all the moribund Internally Generated Revenue projects were resuscitated because I discovered that none of them were working and that was as a result of the one-year transition period: when there was no Substantive Rector”

“When I assumed duty, this place was like a forest and you will just pity the school… I promised to resuscitate all the IGR projects in the school and to the Glory of God, the moribund Water factory, Tissue factory, Block industry, the CBT Centre have all bounced back”
