Joseph-Ojobo, pledged the association’s determination to provide solutions to the students in the area of mentorship that would ignite the passion for studying engineering courses.
Mrs Lynda Bitrus, a member of the association tasked the students to take advantage of the mentorship programme offered by the association and refocus their thinking towards the study of engineering as a profession.
According to her, there is need to gather the students together to sensitise them on the need to always observe better hygiene on daily basis even as the COVID-19 is still with us.
“ The association taught it wise to commemorate this day by visiting the school to educate the students about the importance of the global hand washing day especially with the advent of COVID-19.
“ As students, we need to help ourselves and carry the information to our families on proper measures to provide hygiene for the country,” she said.
Also, the Principal of the school, Mrs Fatimah Gold, commended the association and partners for always finding time to encourage the students of the school.
Gold promised the association that in the next five years, more girls of the school would become engineers to solve the problems of the society.
