“I am hopeful that this project will go a long way to improve sanitation and add value to your educational lives in this reputable school.

“Education is a mutual responsibility, and the government alone can’t carry it so we’ll do our best to help the school achieve its glories.

“We all have a role to play and presenting this project to the school is the right thing to do so I am urging all the old students in this school to come together to improve the standard of teaching and learning in this school”, he said.
