Feel very bold to approach the SERVICOM and Anti-corruption Monitoring and Transparency units in the college, if you face any harassment”, Dr. Anyanwu submitted.
Adding his voice, the Planning Committee Chairman, Chief ABC Duruaku, expressed delight to witness a successful 41st matriculation ceremony of the college and enjoined the fresh students to take their studies very serious.
