Venerable Emendu used the forum to commend the old boys of the college for boldly tackling the demands of the college in all ramifications and making the college proud.
He announced that on February 13, 2026, the college will host a grand occasion where exhibitions indigenous to the college will be made public and talents of students unfolded for the world to behold.
The Principal used the forum to congratulate Governor Soludo for his deserved victory at the concluded November 8 governorship election in the state and urged him to redouble his efforts in making Anambra greater.
