General Observations:
The turnout was impressive, with candidates arriving early and demonstrating eagerness to participate. There was strict adherence to the guidelines provided by the College management, and the process was orderly and professionally executed. The screening and interview exercise for the 2025/2026 academic session was successfully conducted. The process was completely seamless and devoid of technical hitches as all our ICT officers were practically on ground to provide technical supports. However, there was late arrival of a few candidates due to transportation difficulties.
The Provost, Dr. Moyo Kasim who was obviously impressed thanked other management staff, and members of the screening panels for demonstrating professionalism and commitment to excellence throughout the process. Going forward, the outcome of the exercise will guide the final admission list, which will be released after further internal review.
