The minister thanked the Nigerian volunteers for their ‘tireless contributions’ to bring the institute to international standards. Students and teachers were also asked to desist from examination cheating.“Hrd work is expected from the sudents in order to attain quality education required in the competitive East African Community,’’ the minister said. Those caught cheating would be held accountable for their actions.
