Prof. Ibileye declared that his team will not spare any effort to ensure the College reaches a level that everyone can be proud of, noting that although his preliminary assessment highlighted several areas requiring urgent attention, the college remains a top priority on his administrative itinerary.

Prof. Ibileye also announced that strategic partnerships are being leveraged to secure investments for a permanent site and professional development programs. 

He emphasized that staff welfare will not be taken for granted, as the administration is working with partners who have promised to invest in the growth of teachers and staff.
