In his words, ‘’as a community builder we want to thank you for appointing one of our own, Mrs. Atim Mensah as Acting Bursar of the institution. We believe she will serve the institution diligently’’

Mr. Ekpe appealed to the Vice Chancellor to ensure that students results are promptly released to enable them graduate in due time.
