Fr Choji said the deplorable stage of their football pitch will receive attention from the old boys who have promised to revamp sporting activities of the college to a standard that can promote extracurricular activities.

He said the standard of education has decayed completely in Nigeria, which he said requires some parents contributing to the moral collapse that require legislative aims to take a drastic measure in other to address the problem.

The Rev, Fr Joseph frowned at where senior civil servants take their children outside the shores of Nigeria by turning their back to public schools, which he stated that it is the major causing of the falling standard of education.

He advocates that federal, state government should sanction all those civil servants who send their children outside the country.

According to him, with all sense of pride those whose children schools outside thinking that they have given them quality education, but to him, the training outside the country makes them worse.

He blamed Nigeria government for not giving value to education, so many people prefer to send their children outside, this shows that the country is shying away from spending money on education.
