He said: “The commissioning of the laboratory offered me the opportunity to visit this school and other schools. Our policy is, spend a few days in the office and more days in the field.”

“I have been going round to see things for myself. We shall tackle the problems. If schools are dilapidated, we shall rehabilitate them. If they are dilapidated, we shall know, but I am certain that the brains of our teachers are not dilapidated.”

because despite of these problems, our teachers are still putting in their best.

“We appeal to them to continue to put in their best because no matter what the government says, if the teachers are not there to convert our expenditures to produce quality students, such money would be a waste. I am happy to hear from the Principal that with the intervention of Chevron Nigeria Limited and with the use of the laboratory even before commissioning, that the performance of science students had improved greatly at the current examination,” he said.
