Chairman, Ethiope east local government council, Chief Faith Majemite, gave the charge in her address during the inauguration of the Committee at the school premises, Kokori, Ethiope east local government area of the state.
The council boss promised to assist towards the resuscitation of the boarding system in the college, just as she pledged her support for the purchase of a school bus for St. Kevin’ s College.
The council chairman, while commending the school for her excellent performance in the recently released WAEC results, advised parents not to withdraw their children from public schools to magic centres.
Earlier, the Principal of the school, Reverend Fr. Peter Kosomye, lamented that of all the schools that were handed over to the missionaries by the state government, St. Kevin’s College was the least developed.
He listed the provision of a school bus and resuscitation of the boarding system as the top most priority needs of the college.
The Chairman of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) of the college, Mr. Joseph Umude, called on the alma mater of the college to contribute their quota to the development of the school.
