“ And to the graduates, Every end has a new beginning. Today is your last day as a student at this institute, but I believe what you have all learned will start to catapult you to becoming MDs, CEOs of successful companies from today.
When you all left your homes some months back, a lot of you weren’t sure what they will get in return. But today, that little faith you had and the sacrifice you made has yielded to a new reality ”
“ The days of depending on white-collar jobs are over, what matters most today is what you can do, what can you offer? And thank God that when such questions are put before every one of you, you will not only tell them what you can do and offer but also show them the stuff you are made of. You have all learned, explored, and made new friends, nurture this your little and humble beginning for every great thing starts small and little ” He said
The DG ITF-ISTC Sir Joseph N. Ari, applauded the government for her continuous support, calling on the state government for more support as their great visions for the people of Kogi are yet to be actualized for the state.
