He said his administration had implement the proposed entrepreneurship skills acquisition to prepare students for a better future after school.
“As at today, students on their own can tell you their experience with the skill acquisition programme. For degree I, II and NCE I students, we have been able to do a lot with them, enabling them to acquire some skills at least the rudiments of some ventures to which they can later-on in their lives, if necessary, go into in order to better their lives,” he added.
He noted that his vision for the College graduates is for them to be employers of labour and not job seekers.
The College Provost said he is elated that entrepreneur programmes the College embarked on is already impacting on students, who beside having a certificate from the College would have acquired skills relevant to their survival outside of the College.
