He encouraged the Management of the School to key into online teaching of the pupils.
“I want to thank you for the achievements you rolled out. We would be expecting more of these from you. While we are not expecting perfection from you, there is need to make improvement. So, I want you to encourage members of your Board to ensure that solid foundation is given to these children as they constitute a very basic foundation of children that will eventually end up in the University. If the foundation is not well laid, in the years to come, the foundation would be faulty . We would want you to focus on standard in addition to the infrastructural development,”
Professor Okodudu told the Board.Earlier in her address, the Chairman of the Board, Professor Joyce Akaninwor , disclosed that the visit was to acquaint the Acting Vice Chancellor on the activities and achievements of the Board.
