He thanked the FCT UBEB and FCT administration for their undiluted support to the school in the FCT, he also thanked the village head, Malam Jubril Shaba, for giving them the land for the school.
The principal pointed out that the school on its parts has not deviated from her vision and mission of giving qualitative and basic education that encompassed the effectiveness.
He said some of the school’s challenges were lack of teachers, especially in Mathematics and Nigerian Languages, access road, kits for Laboratory Science and Basic Technology.
He appealed to parents to assist the school, noting that the PTA levy was inadequate, but warned teachers not to impose illegal levies on students.
