He assured them that the faculty would provide the necessary support for their academic and personal development.

The Dean who is also the current Academic Staff Union Chairman OGITECH Chapter continued that the freshmen should harness technical, entrepreneurial, and vocational knowledge that will prepare them for the evolving job market and make them globally competitive as Mass Communication practice is concerned, adding that students should draw a time-table for themselves so it can help them to read for the forthcoming examination.
