He encouraged the alumni of the school to identify with the association’s chapter nationwide, describing the chapter as an ecosystem of the old student associations.
“Each year we try to do better than the previous year. Last year, we had a lecture that focused on all areas of nutrition, a group of nurses were on ground who attended to medical issues on the spot. It was comprehensive. The success recorded this year, is an addition to that of the previous editions”
“The concept of the chapter is for generations to come together, it is a hybrid, the products of the school meet and discuss important issues.”
