The staff there operate a 24- hour service.Our hope is that the next set (400 Level and NCE III students) expected on November. 23 will not bring any issue either. If we will continue like this, then we will be able to succeed as a college and achieve academic excellence.Cirfat said that the college has a COVID-19 committee that has been working tirelessly to ensure that all measures are put in place within the college.According to him, the lockdown negatively affected the college as the examinations and payment of fees couldnt be completed before the closure.The provost further said: In spite of the financial implication, we made sure the entire college was fumigated.
