Similarly, the Bursar, Deacon John Adejumo also appreciated the impact of the Rector in the institution since his assumption of office. Deacon Adejumo charged the Press Crew to see themselves as practicing journalists since they are already in the act through their various news release.

Head, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, Mr. Salaudeen Abdullahi in his speech expressed his gratitude to the principal officers for granting the groups the opportunity of the interactive session.
