THE Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, has urged the Academic Staff of College of Education, Katsina-Ala to work hard and show understanding over issues concerning their welfare.

Suswam, who gave the charge at the 15th convocation ceremony of the institution, explained that in the face of competing demands confronting his administration, he would do his best to give the school a face lift, adding that the students should show good example for others to emulate.

He particularly promised to construct students’ hostels and offices of principal staff between now to the end of his administration in 2015.

The governor also advised the institution on the need to always organise convocation yearly, stating that convocation after many years was not good enough.

Earlier in his welcome address, Provost of the College, Dr. Hans Senwua, gave details of the progress made by the institution under his tenure, pointing out that cultism showed its ugly face in the school last year ‘but was carefully curtailed’.

According to Senwua 13, 252 students who passed out of the college between 2005 and 2011 were scheduled to get their certificates at the ceremony.
