Affirming that the alumni are very important in the development of a university, he expressed happiness that the body is cooperating with the management to move the school forward.
He disclosed that management is determined to create conducive environment by ensuring adequate security and the provision of modern facilities to boost teaching and learning, while efforts to increase internally generated revenue in the school are to complement subventions from government.

Also speaking, the pioneer president of the body, Professor Tugwel Agina-Obu, who expressed happiness with the support the body gave him when he delivered his inaugural lecture, said he was happy with the level the association has grown compared to when it was formed.
